This point is completely surrounded by the contour line that represents 600 feet of elevation. To the north and to the south of the 600-foot contour line the elevation increases meaning that if you wanted to get from Point 4 to Point 1 on Map 1 you would have to walk up hill. Since Point 4 is on the opposite side of the 600-foot contour line compared to Point 1, would you walk up hill or downhill from the 600-foot contour line to get to the Point 4? Also keep in mind that Point 4 is in between the 600-foot contour line and the next contour line that is seen on the far-right hand side of the map along Equation Creek. Since the contour interval of this map is 20 feet, what elevation would this contour line be and what elevation would that make Point 4?
Locate Points 1 –5 on Topographic Map # 1 on the following slide . Then,
using the contour interval of Topographic Map # 1, determine the elevation of Point 4.
