Hiking Maps
Hiking Maps are large scale maps which depict the relief of an area and special routes in detail. Apart from the topography of the mapped area and its main physical features, such as geomorphological landforms, drainage, forests etc, hiking maps also include special man-made features such as routes, sites of interest etc. They may have contour lines with little equidistance intervals according to the map scale, or can be simplified with just the use of hypsometric tints. The design of these maps relies on the purpose of the map.
