6. Rules of Contour Lines — some basic rules or facts about contour lines are listed below. The water was NOT shown correctly! 1. Where a contour line crosses a stream or valley, the contour bends to form a "V" that points upstream. 2. — Contours are widely spaced on gentle slopes. — Contours are closely spaced on steep slopes. 3. — Evenly spaced contours indicate a uniform slope. 4. — Contours do not cross or intersect each other 5. ___ Depressions are formed with in-pointing dashes in a circle.
