Topography Maps

Topography maps, or topography plans, are similar to site plans except that they usually only contain information about existing features on your property. They do not typically show new structures. A topography map will usually show ground slope in the form of contour lines, property lines, property corners, existing trees, existing dense brush, existing culverts, streams or drains, existing structures, and sometimes existing utilities. What is put on the topography plans is typically what is agreed to between the client and engineer, based on the needs of the project, or based on the requirements of the local building authority.
