This map is an example of a topographic. Topographic maps are an example of hypsometric maps. It is a topographic map of a mountain range. It can be deemed a topographic map because it is map that captures the three dimensional aspect of the terrain on a two dimensional surface. The use of contour lines allows for the interpretation of the terrestrial elevation. When these lines are close together, the change in elevation is large over a very short distance, while lines that are more spread out the amount of change in elevation is smaller.
