       Topographic is a map type that shows great detail of the land and represents the relief of the land by the use of contour lines. It shows man-made and also natural features of the land. This map example shows the elevation and relief of hills that surround a valley. This is a good example of a topographic map, it shows how the contour lines show the elevation of the hills and the features around the the river valley.
