Topographic Map


McGraw-Hill Science & Technology Dictionary defines a topographic map as being large-scale in size showing relief and man-made features of a portion of a land surface distinguished by portrayal of position, relation, size, shape and elevation of the features.

Here, we can see an example of this as shown by a topographic view of the state of Florida.  As you can see by the full state being visible, there is a large area to cover in regards to dimension and depth being examined in the bottom left corner of the image.
