(Click Topographic Map on left side)

A topographic map is shows a birds eye view using a horizontal axis. What makes this map different from others, such as Planimetric, are  the inclusion of contour lines to show elevation. The map specifically would be good to find the areas of high elevation and low elevation. Areas of low elevation might me high chances of flooding.
