Topographical Maps
Topo Basics Topo maps have
“Contour Lines”. The contour lines show
the elevation of the ground at each area of the map.
This area is at the 2000 foot
elevation.
This area is at the 1500 foot
elevation.
Areas with few contour lines have
less change in elevation.
Areas with many contour lines have
more change in elevation.
Almost all maps, not just Topographical Maps have a scale to show distance.
