What is one of the main purposes of a topographic map?

  1. To provide historical information about the particular area

  2. To provide the safe hunter with instructions on compass use

  3. To provide a graphic representation of the earth's surface

  4. To provide a graphic representation of magnetic north

The correct answer is: To provide a graphic representation of the earth's surface

Topographic maps are primarily used to provide a graphic representation of the earth's surface, allowing individuals to visualize the features of a particular area. Option A is incorrect because while topographic maps may include some historical information, it is not their main purpose. Option B is incorrect because while topographic maps may show compass directions, they are not meant to provide instructions on compass use. Option D is incorrect because topographic maps show elevation and terrain features, not magnetic north.
