A topographical map.
The highest elevation on a topographic map can be depicted with different symbols like contour lines, spot heights, or shading. These symbols represent the elevation of the terrain, with each line or section showing a specific elevation level. The highest point on the map will be indicated by the highest elevation symbol, providing information about the peak or summit's height.
The title of a map indicates the subject, and it is found in the legend which also explains all of the map symbols.
