Topographic Maps represent the surficial geography of an area through the use of contour and elevation lines and shading techniques. The primary feature of Topographic Maps are to highlight differences in elevation and features of relief. This map of Lake Pleasant highlights distinct relief features and can help explain the hydrology of the area. The floodplain of the northern river is also highlighted. Topographical Maps are 2 dimensional maps that help visualize relief. Some Topographic Maps have underlying Digital Elevation Models to help highlight more features.
