Topographic maps have many uses, letting a competent user determine any of the following:

• Where he is.
• How to get where he wants to go.
• What the terrain is like in a given area (steepness, for example).
• Where a river comes from and goes to.
• The route a hiking trail follows.
• The location of campsites.
• The distance between two points.
• Elevation of a mountaintop.
• Latitude and longitude of any point on the map.
• What areas may be susceptible to avalanches or flooding.
