A topographic map is a map that shows the elevation and slope and shape of the earth using lines and shading. They use shading to make a map on paper look like it is coming off the paper will elevation, and they use contour lines to show the slope and steepness of elevation, with closer contour lines meaning higher steepness. This map has all of these features and looks as if it is coming out of the screen/page.
