Topographic maps are considered to be a large-scale maps
showing relief. These types of map use contour lines to portray the shape and
elevation of land. They also capture 3-dimensional aspect of terrain on
two-dimensional surface. Contours are imaginary lines that join points of equal
elevation on the surface of the land above or below a reference surface as mean
sea level. This particular map can be considered a topographic map because it
shows the different elevations with shaded relief. Due to this maps large scale
and quantitative representation of relief is it able to qualify as a
topographic map.
