   What is the difference between a topographic map and a geological map?

   • Topographic maps are maps that illustrate the topography (vertical shape, such as hills) of the mapped region. Geological maps are maps that illustrate the rock types, rock ages and other geological features of the mapped area. Every map has the following elements: Title: a name that generally describes the location of the map area.

   What are surveyed points on a topographic map?

   • In addition to contour lines, topographic maps will also have benchmarks (surveyed points) located at various locations on the map. These points are exact elevations above sea level that surveyors have measured, and they are commonly used to mark the elevations of mountains, hilltops, road intersections and airport runways.

   How do contour lines form on a topographic map?

   • Contour lines on a topographic map are deflected as they cross the valley, causing contour lines to form a “v” shape as they cross the water. The narrow end of the “v” points in the upstream direction. You can think of the “v” like an arrow that points uphill. This is known as the rule of Vs for contour lines.

   • In Figure 6.11, the upper part shows a topographic map of a hill that contains two separate hill tops, and the bottom picture shows a topographic profile representing the profile along the line A-B on the map. Notice that the topographic profile contains horizontal elevation lines at the same intervals as the contour lines on the topographic map.
