Creating a Topographic Map

Draw your topographic map using 20m contour intervals metersline through 20m. 1. Starting on the inside edge of the blank Topo map, draw your first contour line (20m). *Be careful to include all #’s from 1-19 meters but draw your line through 20m. 2.Repeat those steps for each contour line until you work our way to the “top”. 3.*Make sure you draw your V’s when you get to the river (dotted line) 4.*label each line by intervals of 20m 5. *Color with colored pencil only each interval (you choose color) 20m I will draw the first contour line for you.

River Name_______________________________ Period_____

1. Why did you encircle (“fence in”) 1-19 meters but draw your line through 20m? 2. What is the higher of the 2 elevations on the mountain top? (North or South) 3. Between which 2 contour lines and which side of the mountain would you find the steepest slope? 4.If you were to hike up the mountain which direction would you start your hike from?
