Map Colors: Red Brown indicates which feature?

• A. Cultural features
• B. Vegetation
• C. Water features
• D. Man-made objects

Answer: (A)

Colors on field maps are used to separate feature types. Red-brown specifically marks cultural features—the things humans have created that appear on the map, such as roads, built-up areas, and boundaries. This distinguishes them from natural features like vegetation (green) or water (blue), and from the general relief/shapes shown in brown. So red-brown is best described as representing cultural features, i.e., human-made features.
