Roads, buildings, and bridges are human-made features that are typically shown on a topographic map.

Topographic Maps
A topographic map shows the three-dimensional shape and elevation of the Earth's surface through contour lines. These lines connect points of equal elevation, providing valuable information about the terrain's steepness, slope, and geographic features.
Relief on a topographic map is shown using contour lines, which represent different elevations. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the terrain, while farther apart lines indicate flatter areas. Relief can also be depicted using shading or hill shading to show the three-dimensional nature of the landscape.
Topographic maps provide detailed information about the terrain's elevation and relief, using contour lines to represent changes in elevation. They show landforms such as mountains, valleys, and plains, as well as natural features like rivers and lakes. Additionally, topographic maps include man-made features such as roads, trails, and landmarks, which are often presented in a three-dimensional perspective, distinguishing them from standard maps that may focus primarily on political or geographic boundaries.

On a topographic map, elevation is represented by countour lines, which is two lines that connect without intersecting. Relief is also shown by contour lines but also with a variety of other methods, such as shades and colors.
