उत्तर

Vegetation on topographical sheets is shown using specific symbols and colour shading. In this area, there is a complete absence of thick forest cover, so dense green patches are not marked. Where shrubs exist in the hilly area, they may be shown using light green patches or specific symbols for scrub or thorny vegetation. In the plains, since most of the land is used for agriculture with scattered trees, individual tree symbols may be seen sporadically. Additionally, tree plantations along roads and canals are often represented by linear rows of tree symbols running parallel to roads or water bodies.

Overall, the sparse vegetation, scattered trees, and plantation rows reflect the semi-arid climatic conditions, and these elements are depicted cartographically using vegetation symbols, colour codes, and patterns specific to topographical sheet conventions.
