    Do you have an example, I either never have seen this or never had a depression on a map

      Here’s a slide describing how depressions are represented, and here is a topographical map of a sinkhole showing the hashes.

      That said, I had to look pretty hard for a map with those marks. Numbers are much more common.

        Ah, awesome. i appreciate you taking the time to put this together. I dont recall these on maps, but as you said numbers are common. And i typically use the topomap with shading, so shading helps with understanding the terrain
