On a topographic map, a hill is represented by contour lines that are closely spaced together, indicating a steep slope. The lines form concentric circles, with the innermost circle representing the highest point of the hill. As the elevation decreases, the contour lines become wider apart. The overall pattern provides a visual representation of the hill's shape and steepness.

A topographic map showing a hill with a volcanic crater would likely be labeled as a "volcanic cone" or "volcanic feature" on the map. These maps typically have contour lines that show the elevation changes of the land, allowing you to visualize the shape of the hill and the crater. Look for areas with concentric circles of contour lines, indicating the circular shape of the crater.
