DIFFERENT WAYS OF DRAWING THE EARTH’S SURFACE ON FLAT PAPER
* THREE TYPES PLANAR(AZIMUTHAL), CONICAL, AND COMPROMISE

12. TOPOGRAPHIC MAP
A REPRESENTATION OF NATURAL AND MAN MADE FEATURES ON THE EARTH

13. First Step in making a Map is to make a Field Survey
Today Field Surveys are done
by using satellites
