CONTOUR LINES
Parts of A Topographic Map
A. Topographic maps must show landforms on the earth’s surface. THE CI = 20 FEET

B. Contour lines on topo maps connect points of equal elevation.

mountain at a location
- Contour lines close together indicate a steep slope
- Contour lines farther apart indicate a gentle slope
- Contour lines show us the shape of the land at various
elevations

C. Contour interval is the change in elevation from one contour line to
the adjacent one. It can be anywhere from 5 to 100 feet.

D. Depression contours have small hash marks pointing downhill.
They generally indicate the presence of a hole or volcanic crater.
