Excerpt from Topographic Maps and Sketch Mapping
A map is a conventional picture of a portion of the earth's surface as seen from directly above, showing more or less completely the various features of the country represented. Thus a land map may show only the boundaries of a certain piece of property and would consist simply of a series of lines forming a closed figure with the lengths and directions deter mined by the surveyor - in short a conventional outline of the property in question. On the other hand, a complete topographic map, such as would be used in planning a landscape design for a park or estate, for example, would show every detail of the property - houses, roads, streams, and even, in some cases, individual trees as well as the relief, or ups and downs of the land Surface which form its hills and valleys. Between these two extremes are all sorts and kinds of maps used for various purposes.
