Topographic Map


This is a topographic map of Brazil. After studying different types of topographic maps, I now see why the military focused on using these maps. They provide great information on the different land levels of certain areas. I am not familair with the land structures of Brazil, but this map shows the different heights very clearly. This particular topographic map is a great way to show the physical characteristics of land in an area and the built changes in the landscape (Harvey p.13).
