How are topographic maps able to show three-dimensional objects like hills on a two-dimensional object like a piece of paper? They do it by using contour lines. Contour Lines are curves that connect points of equal elevation. Each contour line on a map has a number that represents the elevation of the line (usually the height above sea level).
