Topographic map

http://mail.colonial.net/~hkaiter/topographic_maps.html
Topographic maps are used to show detailed and accurate graphic representations of features that appear on the Earth's surface.  These maps show things from roads, buildings, and other urban, man-made developments to lakes, rivers, mountains, valleys, and other vegetated areas. Basically this type of map will provide a three-dimensional representation of earth's surface.  This map is a Topographic map because it shows a representation of the surface(a mountain) in three dimensions through the use of contour lines.
