Topographic Map

ToPogRaPhIc mApS


In contrast to the previously posted planimetric map of Tallahassee, this map below is a topographic map of the city. Where the last map would have been useful as an easy means of finding direct routes by street names, topographic maps display physical features in the Earth's surface such as  hills, mountains, and elevation changes. These maps are quite useful when planning to bike or hike trails and  can reveal a  great deal of useful information about a landscape. Many topographic maps  also offer information such as exact numbers of elevation change.
