Nov 3, 2022 · A dynamic map showing 3DEP 1-meter DEM availability for the United States and its Territories. This map is created using services from The National Map. Use The National Map Viewer to explore GIS data, see availability of USGS topographic maps, and create your own web map.
The U.S. Geological Survey hosts topoView, an interactive database of the survey’s topographic maps. The map is searchable by address, and clicking on any point on the map brings up topographic maps of the area dating back to 1879. Map results can be narrowed further using scale and date filters.
Download our historical topographic maps and our more current US Topo maps (published 2009-present) free of charge using TopoView (GeoPDF, GeoTIFF, JPEG, and KMZ formats) or using the USGS Store’s Map Locator (GeoPDF format).
A topographical map contains curved lines called contour lines. Each contour line corresponds to the points on the map that have equal elevation (Figure 1). A level curve of a function of two variables [latex]f\,(x,\ y)[/latex] is completely analogous to a counter line on a topographical map.
A topographical map is a two-dimensional visualization of three-dimensional terrain through the so-called level curves or contours corresponding to points of equal elevation. Example 1. Here is a map of the region near South Hamilton, NY: (a) If you are standing where the black dot is, how high are you? What do you see when you look south?

3.3 Level Curves and Level Surfaces. Topographic (also called contour) maps are an effective way to show the elevation in 2-D maps. These maps are marked with contour lines or curves connecting points of equal height. Figure 1: Topographic map of Stowe, Vermont, in the US.
