✔✔Topography is basically how land heaves and dips in hills and valleys, and how it slopes to allow streams and rivers to flow. By studying the topography of the route and planning the best way around geographical obstacles, more money was made by producers who used the railroads to get their products cheaply and efficiently to buyers in different parts of the country.

Geographical Features

So what are the features worth considering?

• Mountains: Natural impediments that block access of one area from another.

• Deserts: Natural impediments similar to mountains because they are difficult to cross and are sparsely populated.
