 A topographic map is a special type of map that shows the “contour” of the land. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as a “contour map”.

Earth is extremely round/spherical and smooth.

Topographic Maps. Contour lines A line which connects points of equal elevation. Index Contours: Thick contour lines which have the elevation written.

Aim: How do we read Topographic Maps? Do Now: In your notes, list all the different types of landforms/features of Earth that you can think of. Example:

Isolines connect points of ________ value.  equal

True or False... Isolines can cross each other.  False

On a topographic map, a contour lines connects points of equal...  Elevation

A stream on a topo map is indicated by “V”s. The points of the V point (downstream, upstream)?  upstream

Maple Stream is flowing in what compass direction?  SW

In what direction is Holland Hill the steepest?  South

How did you know that?  The contour lines are closest.

What is the highest possible elevation of Holland Hill?  569ft Contour interval 10ft
