A topographic map is a type of map which shows the detailed and precise record of a landed area which includes natural and man made characteristics.

For example, they are used to show the shapes of mountains, valleys, plains, with the aid of contour lines.

A topographical map has various uses and some of them are:

To help in urban planning
For geographic planning
For mining expeditions
For civil engineering research
For hiking, etc

Contour intervals are those distance between contour lines which gives specific detail about the details on a topographic map.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview about maps and contour interval which should be useful.
