Toposheets
Toposheets are detailed maps that represent the Earth’s terrain in a specific area, showcasing physical features like mountains, rivers, and valleys, as well as human-made elements such as roads and buildings. They use contour lines to indicate elevation changes, helping users understand the landscape's shape. Typically produced by government surveying agencies, toposheets are useful for outdoor activities like hiking, urban planning, and environmental studies. They often include grid systems, scales, and symbols to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the region's geography.
