Topographic Maps

What is “Topagraphy”? “Topo” = Place “Graphic” = drawn or written Definition? –Drawn/written representation of a particular place.

Contour Lines Sometime called “level lines”. Joins points of equal (same) elevation. The closer the lines the steeper the hill/mountain. Lines that are far from each other represent valley like areas. 4/es0304page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization

Putting It To Use In your notes, write the activity question under the “question” column and the answer under the “notes” column. Use the Yosemite Topographic Map to answer the questions.

Answers 1.Find Curry Village, what is the elevation? 2.Approximately how many miles is it from Curry Village to Mirror Lake?
