Topographic Map


This map was taken from http://mail.colonial.net/~hkaiter/topographic_maps.html

This is a good example of a topographic map using contour lines.  This clearly helps to show relief of a mountain or a hill with a plateau of the summit.  Looking at this map, you can see specific elevations and where these elevations change and what altitude they are.
