Topography: Topography refers to the physical features of an area, including its relief, elevation, and landforms. Detail in a topographic map often focuses on representing these aspects accurately.
Contour Lines: Contour lines are lines on a topographic map that connect points of equal elevation. They help visualize the shape and steepness of landforms.
Symbols: Symbols on a topographic map represent various features like roads, rivers, buildings, or vegetation. The level of detail in symbol design determines how well they communicate specific information.
