1. Creating a Topographic Map

2. Draw your topographic map using 20m contour intervals metersline through 20m. 1. Starting on the inside edge of the blank Topo map, draw your first contour line (20m). *Be careful to include all #’s from 1-19 meters but draw your line through 20m. 2.Repeat those steps for each contour line until you work our way to the “top”. 3.*Make sure you draw your V’s when you get to the river (dotted line) 4.*label each line by intervals of 20m 5. *Color with colored pencil only each interval (you choose color) 20m I will draw the first contour line for you.

3. River Name_______________________________ Period_____

4. 1. Why did you encircle (“fence in”) 1-19 meters but draw your line through 20m? 2. What is the higher of the 2 elevations on the mountain top? (North or South) 3. Between which 2 contour lines and which side of the mountain would you find the steepest slope? 4.If you were to hike up the mountain which direction would you start your hike from?
