History Ramanagara is a town and a city municipal council in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is also the headquarters of the Ramanagara district. The town was known as Shamserabad at the ruling time of the Tippu Sultan. It was then called Closepet, after Sir Barry Close (1756–1813) in pre-Independence times. It was renamed Ramanagara by the former chief minister of Karnataka state Mr. Kangal Hanumanthayya. Mr. Kempe Gowda is an architect, builder, and guide from Magadi taluk of Ramanagar district.
Economy Ramanagara is well known for its sericulture and is nicknamed Silk Town and Silk City. The silk produced in this region forms the input for the famous Mysore Silk. Ramanagara is the largest market for silk cocoons in Asia. 50 tonnes of cocoon a day arrive at the town. Ramanagara has extensive granite sites.
Closepet granites The Closepet granites are a major geological feature of this region and are from the Lower Proterozoic era. This belt of rocks extends in the north-south direction in a 50 km belt. This belt has younger potassic granites and is believed to separate two distinct crustal blocks of the Archaean age. The block to the west has low-grade granite-greenstone belts with iron-manganese ores and to the east are younger gneisses of granitic and granodioritic composition with gold-bearing schist belts. The British officer “Sir Barry Close”, (1756-1813) ruled in the pre-independence era, so Ramanagaras was formerly a close downtown.

CONCLUSION The topographic maps were combined with information from contour maps to show local trends in population rates or levels in two dimensions in a clear, efficient, and simultaneous manner. Contour maps have been used to assist with exploratory data analysis and model construction in addition to the efficient description. Surfaces can be used to comprehend the relationship between a section of a surface and another surface, and different surfaces with reference to the contour difference can be compared by juxtaposing them. Natural features such as water bodies, natural vegetation, and other aspects are depicted on the map with suitable marks and symbols for a better understanding of the region's flora & fauna. Man-made elements such as temples, highways, post offices, railway lines, and other structures are depicted on these maps with suitable marks and symbols which helps in showcasing settlement patterns & overall development alongside the resources. To summarise, the topography is only one aspect in the perception of a surface, but it is one that can be perceived in a variety of ways in practice. Topographic maps show a particular vision of the land, a socially produced landscape, as a result of choices made regarding how its subject is categorized and depicted.
