If you mean Norway's topography, try the ref. below. This is the only free map I found when googling "norway topographic map". You may have better luck.

Norway Wikipedia is the first link. Geography of Norway Wikipedia is the second link. It says, in part: "Norway is located in Northern Europe on the western and northern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, bordering the North Sea in southwest and the Skagerak inlet to the south, the North Atlantic Ocean (Norwegian Sea) in the west and the Barents Sea to the northeast. Norway has a long land border with Sweden to the east, a shorter one with Finland in the northeast and a still shorter border with Russia in the far northeast. The country has a very elongated shape, with one of the most rugged and longest coastlines in the world, and with some 50,000 islands off the much indented coastline. The mainland covers 13° latitude, from 58°N to more than 71°N, (Svalbard north to 81°N), and covers the longitude from 5°E to 31°E (Jan Mayen to 9°W, Kvitøya to 32°E). Norway is one of the world's most northerly countries, and one of Europe's most mountainous countries with large areas dominated by the Scandinavian Mountains; average elevation is 460 m and 32% of the mainland is located above the treeline. The country-length chain of peaks is geologically continuous with the mountains of Scotland, Ireland and, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the Appalachian Mountains of North America. Geologists hold that all these formed a single range prior to the breakup of the ancient supercontinent Pangaea. Virtually the entire country was covered with a thick ice sheet during the last ice age, as well as in many earlier ice ages. The movement of the ice have carved out deep valleys, and when the ice melted, the sea filled many of these valleys, creating Norway's famous fjords." And the third link is the CIA page on Norway. It says, in part: "Location: Northern Europe, bordering the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Sweden " "Area - comparative: slightly larger than New Mexico " "Climate: temperate along coast, modified by North Atlantic Current; colder interior with increased precipitation and colder summers; rainy year-round on west coast ." "Terrain: glaciated; mostly high plateaus and rugged mountains broken by fertile valleys; small, scattered plains; coastline deeply indented by fjords; arctic tundra in north " and it's got a nice map. Now get to work.
