Geologic Maps show the arrangement and types of rocks at the Earth's surface.
Topographic maps show topography. Topography is the height and dimensions of a land mass above water, conversely bythmetery is know as water topography. Geologic maps show geological feature of a land mass such as vegetation and climate zones.
on geologic maps, geologic units are distinguished by color. UNITS OF SIMILAR ARE ASSIGNED COLOR IN THE SAME COLOR FAMILY.

Geologic maps use color to represent various types of geologic features or units (a particular type of rock with a known age range).
Intrusive, erosional, structural, and depositional, I believe.
Contour lines
These are called geologic maps or topographic maps.

The United States Geological Survey uses the same legend on all of their maps to avoid confusion when looking at different maps. If one map used one symbol for a specific geologic type of marker and another map used another symbol, it would be extremely difficult to read the maps quickly and efficiently.
