Topographic maps are landscape-descriptive maps that depict the earth’s surface in its various manifestations — settlements, traffic routes, borders, waters, terrain forms and vegetation — in accordance with the map scale, as complete and clear as possible. Signatures and map fonts help to explain the topographical objects.
The 1:50 000 scale topographic map is produced using the digital topographic map (ATKIS-DTK) method based on the digital landscape model 1:50 000 (ATKIS-DLM50). It complies with the regulations applicable throughout Germany for the map content, the geodetic basis, the character key and the layout.
