Topographic Map

The above image is of a topographic map. These maps are similar to planimetric maps, but differ in that they show vertical relief. This particular map is specifically of Brazil and shows the elevation of different parts of the country in meters. Many could use this map to plan their route of travel through South America to avoid mountain and rain forests.
