Not sure what you are really asking. As far as reading it goes. the numbers on it "1700", "1500" those are your elevation - marked with a dark line (the other lines are at 20 foot intervals). so you can see in general this are goes uphill from the bottom of the page to the top. The closer the lines are together the steeper it is in that area and thus the wider the space between the lines the flatter that area is. the "V" shapes in the lines help you connect the dots of valleys and ridges as well....that is what I think they are trying to better show you. Without a legend you don't know distances. Looks like you have a few streams running North and south and towards the bottom a road and dwellings and a town of some sort if I had to venture a guess.
Like Dan comments it looks like it all mostly covered in some sort of cover, but you don't know what. Cover types, density, presence of food sources and the like all have to be considered. A topo like this is just to give you a general idea of what the shape of the land will look like. My only suggestion would be to look for flat areas in steep areas and to look for places where ravines and stuff make travel difficult as many deer will cross at the head of the ravine to exert less energy.
