Water Creek Canyon, Utah - 7.5 Minute Series Topo Map oregonThe distinctive characteristic of a topographic map is that the shape of the Earth's surface is shown by contour lines. Contours are imaginary lines that join points of equal elevation on the surface of the land above or below a reference surface, such as mean sea level.
