Defining Colors on a Military Topographic Map
There are five different colors on a military map: Brown, Red, Blue, Black, and Green. Colors are used to make the map easier to read. Some maps add an additional color to make the map readable in the dark. Each of the five colors represents a different terrain.

It is necessary to know what each of the colors represent in order to easily and effectively read the map, especially if you're considering a military job and/or a military career.

The Color Brown
The most common color you will find on a military map is the color brown. The brown lines on the map represent different terrain such as mountains, hills, valleys, and cliffs. You will find contour lines in areas of high and low elevation, usually of twenty meters. You will find the elevation written somewhere along the contour lines. Contour lines are circular when representing a mountaintop. When representing a steep hill, you will find them closer together.

The Color Red
Populated areas, such as cities, highways, and main roads, are red. The color red is also used on certain boundary lines; however, you won't usually find this on current, updated military maps, but on older, outdated maps.

The Color Black
Buildings, certain roads, and other man-made areas are black on a military map. Spot elevations, or higher elevations, are also black. You will usually find a dot with a number next to it, on a spot elevation.

The Color Blue
Bodies of water are usually a bright blue color. This includes rivers, lakes, or any other area that is prone to flooding. The bright blue color is used to stand out from the rest of the map.

The Color Green
Thick vegetation, such as orchards, woods, and other foliage, is always green. This assists troops in moving through unfamiliar territory with a military career.

There is a lot to learn when starting a military job. To find informatin about a military job or military career, search online today.
