a type of survey which depicts the configuration (relief) of the earth's surface (ground) and the location of natural and artificial objects thereon

This survey determines boundary lines, slope of ground and locations of improvements and appurtenances on a property. Typically, the topographic survey shows elevation grades in 1 foot contours lines.
