# Create a Zones Map Using Topography
Use elevation, slope, and terrain patterns to create management zones for drainage and input planning.
1. Select the field in the tree, click the **Create Zones Map** button, select **Single-layer**, and then click **Next**.
2. Select the **Topography** data type to proceed.
3. In the next step select the most appropriate Digital Elevation option:
* Elevation – absolute numbers
* Slope – the measure of steepness or the degree of inclination of a feature relative to the horizontal plane
* Aspect – the compass direction that a slope faces
* Hillshade – a shaded relief effect for terrain visualization
* Elevation and hillshades
* Slope and Aspect
* Relief Position – defined as the difference between a central pixel and the mean of its surrounding cells.
* Ruggedness – defined as the mean difference between a central pixel and its surrounding cells.
* Roughness – the degree of surface irregularity. It is calculated from the largest inter-cell difference between a central pixel and its surrounding cells.
After you have selected the required value, click **Next**.
4. In the next step, you can edit the title, change the number of zones, [select a Data Classification Type](/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics/using-data-classification.md), and define the Minimum Polygon Area in square meters. Click **Run Analysis** to proceed.
The analysis may run for up to 60 seconds, depending on the parameters you have specified.
5. Once it is finished, click **Save & Finish**.
After it is saved, you will see the following message:
You can create another zones map, assign rates, or open the Zones Map you just created. If you open it, you will see a similar view.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.geopard.tech/geopard-tutorials/product-tour-web-app/zones-maps-and-analytics/create-a-zones-map-using-topography.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
