This is an example of a topographic map. This particular map is a Swedish map created between 1957 and 1979. The main characteristic of topographic maps is that they focus on showing high detail and changes in elevation. This map shows changes in elevation by using contour lines and shading. While this map focuses on sharing the physical layout of the land, some topographic maps are used to show cultural changes through shading and contour lines as well.
