Topographic maps (or topos for short) are large scale (often greater than 1:50,000) that show a wide range of human and physical features of the earth. They're very detailed maps and often produced on large sheets of paper. The United States is mapped by over 54,000 topographic maps from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), most are at a scale of 1:24,000.
