Hachured depressions on topographic maps are called "closed contours" or "depressions." The hachures indicate that the elevation decreases as you move inward toward the center of the contour line. These markings help to visualize areas of lower elevation, such as sinkholes or basins, distinctly from surrounding terrain.
