How are contour lines determined in a topographic survey?

What kind of information is provided by U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangle Maps?

What are the bold contours called in topographic surveying and mapping?

On a map drawn to a scale of 1:2200, contour lines are 0.5 inches apart at a center location. The contour interval is 1 ft. What is the ground slope between adjacent contours?

If the distance two places on the map is 12cm, with the map scale of 1:2,000,000,what is the ground area of the farm land?

On a map drawn to a scale of 1:5000, contour lines are 6 mm apart at a certain place. The contour interval is 2 m. What is the ground slope, in percent, between adjacent contours?

What are the Methods of determining area from map measurements?

Find the scale ratio for the map described below.   1cm(map)= 500km(actual)

The distinguishing characteristics of a topographic map is the       a. accurate portrayal of horizontal of horizontal dimensions and directions b. indication of relief c. employment of map symbols portraying natural and man-made features d. use of horizontal and vertical datum
