A map whose principal purpose is to portray the features of the earth's surface. These features might include the cultural landscape, but normally refer to the terrain and its relief.
a map that represents the horizontal and vertical positions of features on the face of the earth. Vertical positions are defined by contours or other symbology.
A depiction of the earth's surface that includes reference to elevation, usually by means of contour lines.
A map of land-source features including drainage lines, roads, land marks, and usually relief or elevation.
A map showing elevation of the landscape in contours of equal height (elevation) above sea level. This can be used to identify boundaries of a watershed.
map that depicts the changing elevation of a surface
A map showing the features on the earth’s surface in accuracy and details appropriate to the map scale. A standard topographic maps will show a number of different themes of data - eg contours, water features, cultural features (roads, buildings, etc)
a map that uses contour lines and symbols to show the surface features of a particular area, including natural features (mountains, valleys, water, etc) and human-made features (roads, buildings, bridges, etc)
A topographic map is a map that represents elevations on it.
a map showing physical or natural features of an area, generally including altitude contours.
A class of map designed primarily for the purpose of depicting elevation (relief), as opposed to a planimetric map which only shows the horizontal location of geographic features. Topographic maps show vertical data with contour lines, hypsometric tints, spot heights, and relief shading. Also shown is fundamental information about the Earth's surface such as landforms, vegetation, and drainage. Cultural and landmark features, such as roads, railways, populated places, and buildings are often included. Topographic maps are usually available as a series, such as the 1:50 000 and 1:250 000 scale National Topographic System (NTS) maps, produced by the Centre for Topographic Information ( URL), Geomatics Canada, Natural Resources Canada.
An illustration of the earth's different elevation levels by means of contour lines. They present both natural and manmade features.
A map showing elevation and the shape of the terrain (i.e. hills, peaks, and valleys) using raised-relief, shaded-relief, or contour lines.
Detailed two-dimensional maps that show ground characteristics via contour lines.
a map which presents both the vertical and horizontal positions of the features represented. Glossary terms are adapted from Bates and Jackson, 1987, Glossary of Geology, American Geological Institute, Alexandria, Virginia. Outreach (Resource Agency Personnel) Division of Geological Survey, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Vermillion, SD 57069. Phone: (605) 773-3151.
A geographic map indicating elevation using contour lines. Commonly referred to as Topo maps. An excellent tool for locating waterfalls.
map showing the physical contours of a region of land; landmarks, churches, schools, roads, and cemeteries are sometimes shown.
A map that uses contour lines to represent the three-dimensional features of a landscape on a two-dimensional surface.
A map showing changes in altitude, utilizing lines and color codes.
a line and symbol representation of natural and artificially created features in an area
a map which accurately depicts the physical features and relief of an area.
Graphical portrayal of the topographic featured of a land area, showing both the horizontal distances between the features and their elevations above a given datum.
A map that shows terrain relief.
A map that gives not only locations of roads, landmarks and other features, but also gives contour lines at different elevations to show valleys, hills and other topography of the area.
contour map that shows human-made and natural physical features. A topographic map at a scale of 1:10,000 to 1:50,000 would be a good base map.
A map that shows the topography of an area using contour lines to represent the size, shape, and elevation of the features.
Map that uses colors, symbols, and contour lines to represent generalized surface features.
Map that presents the horizontal and vertical positions of the features represented. Distinguished from a planimetric map by the addition of relief in measurable form.
A systematic representation of a small part of the land surface showing physical features (eg. relief, hydrography), and cultural features (eg. roads, administrative boundaries). These large-scale maps present both vertical and horizontal features in measurable form.
A map that shows natural human-made features of an area using contour lines (lines of equal elevation) to portray the size, shape, and elevation of the features.
Map that displays topography through the use of elevation contour lines. Base elevation on these maps is usually sea-level.
1. A map containing contours indicating lines of equal surface elevation (relief), often referred to as topo maps. 2. Often used to refer to a map sheet published by the U.S. Geological Survey in the 7.5-minute quadrangle series or the 15-minute quadrangle series.
A map showing the topographic features of a land surface generally by means of contour lines. Torpor Considerably reduced metabolic rate with subsequent slow breathing and heart rate; body temperature drops down near the ambient temperature.
A map with contours showing changes in elevation.
Topographic maps are a variety of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines in modern mapping, but historically using a variety of methods. Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and man-made features,"A topographic map is a detailed and accurate graphic representation of cultural and natural features on the ground." http://maps.nrcan.gc.ca/topo101/faq_e.php Centre for Topopgraphic Information - Topographic Maps: Frequently Asked Questions "Traditionally, the main division of maps is into topographic and thematic maps. Topographic maps supply a general image of the earth's surface: roads, rivers, buildings, often the nature of the vegetation, the relief and the names of the various mapped objects."
A topographic map is the ordered projection of one brain structure onto another, such as retinotopy, the ordered projection of the retina onto the lateral geniculated nucleus of the thalamus, and then onto the primary visual cortex, or somatotopy, the ordered projection of the body surface onto the primary sensory cortex.
