Question

What are cartographic methods used to depict means of transportation on topographical sheets?

Answer 1

On topographical sheets, a metre gauge railway line such as the one joining Gurgaon with Delhi and Rewari is shown using a single line with tick marks. Metalled roads connecting Gurgaon with Delhi, Manesar, Bawal, Nuh, and other areas are represented using double solid lines. Bypasses and connecting roads are also marked similarly, based on their type and importance. These symbols help identify the transport routes and connections across the region.
