  Topographic Map Example
An example of a topographic map
 

Welcome to Topographic Maps! Topographic maps are different from other maps because they show the shape and elevation of features of landscape such as mountains and valleys. Here, you will investigate what the elements of a topographic map are, and how they are used.

At the end of the module you can apply these new skills in The Topographic Trek interactive.
