For this honor you will need a [http://amzn.to/16vUvPG sighting compass] like one of the ones linked to on Amazon. You will also need [http://www.usgs.gov/pubprod/ topo maps] which can be downloaded for free or purchased.
 
== 1. Explain what a topographic map is, what you expect to find on it, and three uses for it. ==
Topographic maps are also commonly called contour maps or "topo maps." Topographic maps conventionally show topography, or land contours, by means of contour lines. Contour lines are curves that connect contiguous points of the same altitude. In other words, every point on the marked line of 100 m elevation is 100 m above mean sea level.
