Settlement
One important human feature found on Topographical maps is human settlements. This is an example of the interaction between humans and their physical environment.

History on Settlement
The earliest humans moved from place to place to find food. Eventually, some people stopped roaming and began to settle in one place.
Humans built the first permanent settlements by rivers. Mesopotamia was between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (in Iraq), and ancient Egypt was on the Nile
Rivers lend themselves to human settlement for a number of reasons. Rivers are an important source of fresh water. They have been used for irrigation for thousands of years.
Irrigation is a way for farmers to get water to their crops. The annual flood of the Nile was important to the survival of the ancient Egyptians. The floodwaters left behind rich mud where the Egyptians grew wheat and barley.
