United States Geologic Service (USGS) Topographic Map Key (Legend)
Interpreting the colored lines, areas and other symbols is necessary in using the topographic maps. The USGS Topographic Maps use symbols or colors to represent features, and this Topographic Map Key explains what they mean.
Contour lines are distinctive to the topographic maps but there are other features shown on the maps including buildings, water and vegetation. In fact, there are nearly 200 features represented by unique symbols and separated into color groups. There are five (5) color plates which were used in the film-based reproduction process. The five (5) plates include vegetation (green), water (blue), public land survey lines and densely built-up areas (red), roads and buildings (black), contours and other elevation features (brown). Although, no longer used the color (purple) found on the historical topo maps represent feature changes.
.
black plate
The color black is represented in a number of features including: boundaries, buildings, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, crossings, control data, monuments, dams, piers, break waters, foreshore and offshore features, mine symbols, roads, highways, trails, railroads, drive-in theatres, oil sumps, telephone lines, pipelines and wells.
