Map revision is needed to keep pace with changes in man-made features such as new roads, buildings, reservoirs, and sometimes changes in the shape of the terrain. The rate and amount of change vary greatly from urban to remote areas; therefore maps are not revised at fixed intervals. The needs of map users are a first consideration in selecting maps for revision.
