Overview
Refers to pictorial or photographic representations that faithfully (though not necessarily with total accuracy) depict actual locations. May be "landscapes (representations)" or "townscapes (representations)," though those terms imply invention whereas "topographical views" implies recording of appearances. For faithful drawings of individual buildings, use "measured drawings," "record drawings," or "as-built drawings."
