Topographic Map Patterns Collection

Survey sheets from the era of hand-drawn cartography have a particular kind of order: concentric contour rings, tiny benchmark crosses, and elevation figures set right on the line. The collection gathers 20 topographic map graphics built in this language: rolling open terrain in some, packed ridge lines in others, each one a different piece of ground. Every map ships as vector and as transparent PNG, with a layered Photoshop sheet for color, grid, and paper finish.

Details:

• 20 topographic map graphics in AI, EPS, SVG, and PNG;
• master sheet with all 20 designs in AI, EPS, and SVG;
• layered PSD sheet with color, grid, and finish controls;
• 200 x 140 mm per graphic; PNG at 300 dpi on transparency;
• contour lines, survey marks, and elevation figures throughout the set;
• black line art, fully editable in vector.

Twenty unique terrains

The set moves across a real range of landforms. Some sheets have wide gaps between rings and a couple of summits that look like clean concentric islands. Others pack the lines into dense ridges where the contours crowd into near-solid bands of ink. That spread matters on the page: the open maps hold type and logos without a fight; the dense ones work as full-bleed texture. Survey marks and elevation figures are drawn into the maps, which keeps the cartographic read instead of leaving abstract wavy lines.

The PSD does the styling

The Photoshop file is where the previews come from. It lays all 20 maps across one 4500 x 3000 px sheet at 300 dpi, in 16-bit RGB, and each map sits on it as a vector shape layer, with live paths and a color swatch you can double-click. A color fill under the whole stack sets the background. A grid layer holds the dotted survey grid and ships switched off. Above everything, a Settings group carries two texture layers on Multiply and Linear Burn, plus Levels, Photo Filter, and Vibrance. That is the whole route from flat line art to aged paper.

Line art you recolor

The contours are expanded outlines filled in black, with no live strokes anywhere in the vector files. One fill change recolors an entire map in a click, and nothing breaks when the artwork is scaled. There is no stroke weight field to adjust. Line thickness follows the size of the graphic: place a map small and the contours read as hairlines; blow it up to a poster and they thicken with it. Plan the final size first, and the rest is a color decision.
