Rhode Island Topographical Map
On a topographical map, sometimes called a topo map, contour lines are often used to join points of equal elevation above sea level
and color gradations may depict elevation ranges between the contour lines. Topographical maps are often used to determine areas and
routes where the terrain is fairly level or where steep slopes exist. This page includes both static and interactive topographical
maps of Rhode Island.
