Topographic maps indicate another layer to the latitude and longitude of a map, generally surface features and elevation, the latter of which is depicted through continuous contour lines. The numbers represent elevation (either in feet or meters). Above is an example of a topographic map of the city of Stowe, Vermont. As you can see, the contour lines depict the higher elevations within the city, which are labeled accordingly, i.e. Cady Hill and Taber Hill and Lower Village (lacking the constant contour lines).
