Describe the features on a topographical map and how these features are used?

Question

How do these features assist a surveyor who is a large parcel of land?

Answer 1

Features shown on a topographical map include swamps, wetlands, rivers, buildings, waterfalls, roads, highways.

But most important are the elevation lines.

These lines join points of the same height.

They are called contour lines.

They help a surveyor visualize the surface shape of the land.

The features act as landmarks to help a surveyor find a place on the map matching a real place in the parcel of land.
