Historical maps show information about the past. A map of the 13 colonies, a map of the United States as it was in 1953, a map of a state's roadways in 1899, etc. would be historical maps.
Topographical maps show the features outlined in the question, and will also include man-made features.

Generally, population maps show the concentrations of population in different areas of the world.
Both physical and political maps show the outlines of land and sea. Political maps show human made features - countries, states, cities, roads, railways, ferry routes, etc. Physical maps show natural features such as mountains, rivers, sea depth, etc. Most common maps are actually combinations showing both physical and political features.
Yahoo Maps is a mapping service similar to Google Maps and MapQuest, but with some minor differences and some major ones. Unlike Google maps, Yahoo Maps does not have the immensely useful "Street View" feature but does show the weather of an area on the map.
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.

Different maps are useful because they each show different kinds of information:Climate maps give general information about climate and precipitation in a certain area. Precipitation levels are represented in different colors.Economic/Resource maps feature the natural resources or economic society that impact an area.Physical maps show the physical features of an area, such as mountains, rivers, and lakes.Political maps do not show these physical features; instead, they indicate state and national boundaries, as well as capital and major cities.Road maps show major highways and roads, airports, railroad tracks, cities, and points of interest in an area.Topographical maps are much like physical maps, but these include contour lines to indicate the shape and elevation of an area.
