Topographic Map


Topographic Map- Shows third dimension of relief, contour lines connect equal areas of elevation at an undisclosed location here. The third dimension is also represented by shading and color. Topographic maps are also considered hypsometric maps since a factor of third dimension is communicated (http://geology.isu.edu/geostac/Field_Exercise/wildfire/topography.htm).
