Abstract

The representation of karst terrains on topographic maps is a challenging task. The representation of large number of negative relief features with contour lines is possible only on the largest scale topographic maps (in Hungary the largest scale is 1:10.000). We have two types of karst terrains in Hungary: Aggteleki type (uncovered) and Bakonyerdő type (covered). From our point of view only the Aggteleki-type karst terrains are interesting, because the other type is nearly “unidentifiable” on the contour lines of a topographic maps. These uncovered karst areas are visible on three mountains of Hungary and there are definite characteristics are recognizable if we check the contour lines of only these areas. These uncovered karst terrains are visible only in the largest scale (1:10.000), but in smaller scales the generalization process may eliminate these features, because the size of the depressions is mostly not large enough.
