Etymology
Topographic comes from the Greek parts topo- meaning 'place' and -graph meaning 'to write or draw', the same -graph you see in photograph. So, a topographic map is literally a drawing that shows the shape and features of a place, which is why the word means 'relating to the physical features of a place'..
