Subject: Question about cataloging geologic maps

Could someone with experience cataloging geologic maps please advise me
on something?  When a geologic map shows structure by contour lines, is
that considered relief?  Should it be coded as "Relf: a" and described
in a note as - Relief shown by contours?  Or, do the codes for relief
only pertain to topographic and bathymetric relief?  Perhaps the note
should be "Structure shown by contours" and the relief code left blank.
What do you think?
