Figure 3 is a simple topographic map of Manhattan, the Bronx, and the Palisades of New Jersey. Elevations of land surface are shown by patterns indicated in the legend. Waterways are white. Note that with the exception of mid- and lower Manhattan, much of the region is characterized by a series of elongated hills (called ridges) and valleys that are roughly parallel to (a) each other, (b) to the length of Manhattan, and (c) to the Hudson and parts of the Harlem and East Rivers. What is the approximate compass quadrant bearing of these features? What is their azimuth?
