Research Notes

Notes

Topography concerns the shape and character of the Earth's surface and maps were among the first artifacts to record these observations. They are also known as topographical maps. A topographic map is a detailed, accurate graphic representation on a two-dimensional surface of features that appear on the Earth's surface, both natural and man made.
