Proper lines are used for topographic elements, and symbols represent all known or discernible structures. Requires isolines are present, some labels may be missing. Most identifiable structures in landscape are represented by appropriate symbols. Some isolines missing, labels intermittent. Few structures are represented by the appropriate symbols. More isolines are missing than are present, labels rare to nonexistent. Symbols for other structures are not present whatsoever. Accuracy Map clearly corresponds to given landscape. Geologic formations are clearly identifiable, and distances between objects on map are directly related to reality. Map represents landscape. General contours are identifiable, although details may be slightly off. Distances are mostly consistent with reality. Map is a gross interpretation of reality. Hills and valleys exist, but shapes vary from given landscape. Distances between objects are only roughly proportional to given landscape.
