This is a topographic map. A topographic map is similar to a planimetric map, but it shows altitude in addition to the horizontal aspect. This is a map of a mountain with a peak altitude of 5117 units. This map doesn't show what unit it is measured in so it could be in meters, feet, or some other unit. The x in the middle of the map represents the benchmark or highest altitude. When the contour lines are close together it means the relief has a steep slope and when the lines are far apart, it has a gentle slope.
