Excerpt from Photo-Topographic Methods and Instruments: Topography
Topography is that branch Of surveying which pictures the shape of the outer visible surface of the earth, in reduced scale, as a horizontal projection, yet showing the relative positions of points of the terrene also in the vertical sense. It is, therefore, supplementary to geodesy in representing areas of the earth's surface, including all the necessary details and changes in the terrene, by means of instrumental measurements made in the field.
