Topographic Map

http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/ghana_topographic_map

A topographic map displays elevation of an area. This particular map uses different colors to differentiate between different levels of the land, with orange representing the highest levels of elevation and bright green representing the lowest. These types of maps tend to have many details. They display contour lines, as well as natural and man-made features of the area being displayed.
