The document summarizes key topographical features of Peshawar, Pakistan through maps and descriptions. It outlines that Peshawar sits in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges, with an elevation of 317 meters. Topographical maps of Peshawar show its cultural, hydrological, relief, and vegetation features, including cities, rivers, contours, and wooded areas. Contour maps and relief maps are two types used to represent Peshawar's elevation details. The document also maps out Peshawar's industrial areas, flood zones, seismic activity, agricultural regions, airports, universities, hospitals and other infrastructure.

2. WHAT IS TOPOGRAPHY?
– Topography describes the physical feature of
any area of land.
Natural Features:
Mountains
Rivers
Lakes
Valleys
Manmade Features:
Roads
Dams
Cities
Bridges

3. TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP
– A detailed and accurate two-dimensional representation of
features that appear on the Earth’s surface.
– A topographic map will have all the same elements as a
non-topographical map, such as scale, legend (symbols are
also given), and north arrow.
– They are different from other types of maps because they
show elevation.
– Sometimes referred as Terrain maps, Elevation maps,
Altitude maps and Contour maps.

MAPS

6. TWO TYPES OF
TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS
1.Contour
Maps
2.Relief
Maps

7. 1. CONTOUR MAP
Elevation is shown by contour lines.
Contour line on a map joints points that
have same elevation/height from sea level.
Contours lines are labelled with the
elevation values.
Contour lines do not cross one another.

9. 1. CONTOUR MAP
 Rule of Vs: Sharp-pointed
vees shapes represent
stream valleys from
where the drainage
channel passes. This is a
consequence of erosion.
 Rule of Os: If closed loops
are inside, it shows a
uphill but if are outside
then it shows the
downhill.
Density of contours:
• Closely spaced contours =
steep slopes
• Distant contours= shallow
slope
• Dotted lines show a
depression.

12. 2.RELIEF MAPS
A type of topographical map that doesn’t use contour lines.
The elevation data in a relief map is shown by using different
colors.
With the change in elevation, color changes across the map.
Color codes for various elevation is shown on the Map
key/Legend.
Lighter Colors Higher elevation values
Darker colors Lower elevation values

13. COLOR CODES
Green
• Heavy
vegetation
like forests,
woods,
jungles.
White
• Areas which
are clear of
trees,
fields,
plains, sand
flats.
Blue
• Bodies of
water.
Lakes,
rivers,
streams,
swamps.
Black
• Human
made
features,
such as
roads,
trails,
buildings
etc.
Brown
• Used for
contour
lines.
