Question: Why are some street names missing from the map?

< Back to Questions List

Answer:

The emphasis of the maps in TOPO! is on topography--depicting the terrain and natural landscape. In urban areas, a map shows the maximum number of street names compatible with the map scale after the application of essential descriptive labels and other features’ names. Preference is given to the named principal or through-arteries. Additional names are shown at intervals to serve as ready points of orientation without unduly congesting the maps.
