A topographic map is described as one that has a wide scale of elevations which are represented by different color schemes. In addition, topographic maps show manmade structures and natural features of the surrounding areas. In this map of the Unites States, we can see that the western portion of the U.S. has a much more rugged look than the eastern half which show us the massive amounts of elevation.
