A geologic map or geological map is a special-purpose
map made to show geological features.The stratigraphic contour lines are drawn on the surface of a selected deep
stratum, so that they can show the topographic trends of the strata under the ground. It is not always possible to properly show this when the strata are extremely fractured, mixed, in some discontinuities, or where they are otherwise disturbed.
