Bridges, buildings and railroads are three such features.
Topographic maps are easily recognized by their contour lines, which represent changes in elevation. These lines indicate the shape and steepness of the terrain, making it easier to visualize the physical features of the land. Additionally, topographic maps often include symbols and colors to represent natural and man-made features such as rivers, roads, and buildings.

Topographic maps show elevation, relief, terrain features, and topographic details such as contour lines, streams, lakes, and vegetation.

Topographic maps display both natural and manmade features in a specific area. Topographic maps usually also feature various contour lines to help with segregating the map into blocks for easier identification of specific locations or features.
Two disadvantages of geodesy maps are limited detail in terms of topographic features compared to other specialized maps like topographic maps, and potential distortions in size and shape of features due to the projection used in creating the map.
Physical maps show geographical features like mountains and rivers. Political maps display borders, cities, and countries. Topographic maps combine physical and cultural features, showing elevation and man-made structures.
