Topographic Map

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map

This map shows an interesting topographic map of Nablus, an area just north of Jerusalem on the West Bank. This is a good example of a topographic map because it has easily distinguished intervals of 100m between each degree of height-lines throughout. It also has coded the areas of equal elevation by color as well, making it considerably easier to distinguish elevation changes than how it is done on typical topographic maps.
