Topographic Map

A topographic map shows not only horizontal, but vertical features of what is being represented as well in a measurable form. This map allows the reader to determine the elevation of the land based on the color. As the title of the map illustrates, this is a topographical map of the Falkland Islands. This map can also be classified as hypsometric.
