designing roads for a new town
B
sailing across one of the Great Lakes

Topographic maps show the shape and elevation of land using contour lines. This information helps planners choose routes and grades when designing roads for a new town. Sailing is better supported by nautical charts, while tree counts and beach temperatures are not the main information shown on topographic maps.
