Topographic Map

 
This is a topographic map. Topographic maps show extensive close up detail about a place. They usually have large scale detail and use contour lines in modern maps. The map shown here is of the West Bank. The contour lines are at 100 meter intervals. The color code for this map is based on the heights and elevations of the area. It qualifies as this map type because it shows contour lines and a variety of elevations and landforms.
