Warm-up #13: Bellwork: Make sure your latitude and longitude origins are graphed on your mini Robinson globe! A topographer selects an origin of (35.062363, -80.850163).

Contour Mapping - September 25, 2018

Contour Maps Another name for Topographic maps A map that shows the elevation of a terrain on a 2D surface. A contour is a line drawn on a map that joins points of equal height above sea level. Contours follow points of equal height. If you can't see a number, follow the line to find one. On some maps, not all contours will have labels and are printed slightly lighter, but you can work out the height by looking at labelled contours above and below The best way to understand contours is to practice by comparing a map to the real world or photographs
