Which feature is indicated by a cemetery symbol on a topo map?

• A. Cemetery
• B. Campground
• C. Tank
• D. Airport

Answer: (A)

Topographic maps use standardized symbols to show human-made features. A cemetery symbol marks a burial ground and is drawn with small gravestones or a cross, often arranged in a block to indicate a dedicated cemetery area. This makes it clearly identifiable as a cemetery, distinguishing it from other features like campgrounds (often shown with a tent icon), airports (runways or airplane symbols), or tanks (military symbols not typical on civilian maps). So the symbol directly indicates a cemetery.
