The importance and use of topographic maps

 

Topographic maps is of great importance in many important studies that relate to various areas of life, because they accurately represent all phenomena on the surface of the earth, ie , all natural monuments and landmarks that are man-made. The topographic map of the most important tools used by the geographical and geological engineer , planned , agricultural , and schools the soil, and the military , and others, because it is the basis for land use classification, and planning for engineering projects , agricultural and studied, and in urban planning, and evaluation of urban , agricultural , and expense trends on the surface of the earth, and prepare designs of roads and railways and extending pipes and building airports, ports , dams and sewers, and to choose sites towers and power lines , and in the study of soil erosion and irrigation projects , and in mineral exploration , and national defense, and as a basis for maps other . , One of the most important means of studies geomorphological and geological , because it shows comprehensive information about the region lathe, also helps contours on maps topographic on the rating forms the surface of the earth and know a lot of aspects of geological and geomorphological in the region, such as cracks and faults , and cones and craters . As can be inferred tendencies and forms and degrees of knowledge . Also, for topographic map of great importance in the study of surface drainage , Vboisttha can know what type and location of the exchange . The study of topographic and geological maps together can learn a lot about the characteristics of the structure and to predict the type of soil and distribution in the region.

 

 

 

Help topographic map , in the field of engineering , in selecting the most appropriate corridors for road construction , and selection of appropriate sites for reservoirs and dams , airports and other large projects , pipe laying , construction of canals , and the establishment of agricultural projects , and calculate quantities of excavation and backfill .

 

 

 

In the military field , the topographic map shows the most appropriate way and pathways that can سلكها depending on the quality of the mechanisms used , as can the use of topographic maps to predict the ways in which may behave the enemy . They also show the field of vision and clarify the appropriate places for the establishment of temporary and permanent camps .

 

 

 

For geographers , the topographic map showing the terrain and forms of the earth's surface where they can study on the surface orientation and monuments and terrestrial phenomena , and other maps can be derived from the topographic map .

 

 

 

Can be for those interested in studying soil and water preparation of preliminary studies of the area of topographic maps , by examining what on the surface of the Earth landmarks and natural study contours and see sites plains and slopes, and low places that shows the water internist so get out ideas initially on soil type and location of the water.
