Topographic maps are maps that represent the physical landscape or terrain of an area, often showing lakes, rivers, mountains, valleys, and any other relief features, and are depicted through raised relief features, contour lines, and other characteristics. These maps can also depict man-made features as well, such as roads or canals. The above image is a topographic map of the Adirondack Trail in New York. It's classified as topographic because it displays the physical landscape of the area, showing lakes and other waterways, and using contour lines to depict hills and other relief features.
