include brown or green for land and blue for water. Topographic maps are general reference maps showing coastlines, cities, and rivers that use contour lines to show elevation differences. Such maps are helpful to hikers because they can show elevation changes along a trail. Government agencies like the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) produce these maps that are often based on satellite data or aerial photography. Satellite maps are produced from data recorded by satellite sensors and transmitted to
