Topography \To*pog"ra*phy\, n. [F. topographie, Gr. ?; ? a place
   + ? to write.]
   The description of a particular place, town, manor, parish,
   or tract of land; especially, the exact and scientific
   delineation and description in minute detail of any place or
   region.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: Topography, as the description of particular places, is
         distinguished from chorography, the description of a
         region or a district, and for geography, the
         description of the earth or of countries. --Brande & C.
         [1913 Webster]
