Topographic maps Differ from other maps because they show elevations in addition to direction, location and other features.

Topographic Map Features Contour Lines = lines on a topographic map that indicate the elevation of the land. Same elevation along the entire line. 40 ft Contour Interval = difference in elevation from one contour line to another. 50 ft Contour Interval = 10 ft. 50 ft 40 ft 50 ft 40 ft

? ? ?

Label these points as a Hill, Valley, and Stream. 1 Hill 2 Valley 3 Stream

Determine the elevations of these points 5 80 m 150 m 4 6
