Topographic Maps

Mr. King

Hints to work with topographic maps.

· Small lines perpendicular to contour lines are called hachure lines.

· Hachure lines point downhill.· Contour lines never cross.· “V” shaped contour lines point up stream.· A cross section line (X,Y) crosses contour lines

to help determine cross section of land· Contour lines explain elevation above sea

level.
