A topographic map is a type of map that is characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief, usually using contour lines. Topographic maps show not only contours but also some streams, forestry, and built-up areas. This is an example of a topographic map that shows rivers and hills and other topography using contour lines.
