Topographic MapsThe topography of a region can be shown on a map. Topographic maps represent geographical features, such as hills and valleys. Topographic maps use contour lines to show geographical features. A contour line is a line of equal elevation. If you walk along a contour line, you will not go uphill or downhill. Topographic maps are also called contour maps.The rules of topographic maps are:Each line connects all points of specific elevation, Contour lines never cross. After all, a single point can only have one elevation. Adjacent contour lines are separated by a constant difference in elevation (such as 20 feet or 100 feet). The difference in elevation is the contour interval. The The contour interval is sometimes indicated in the map legend. Scales indicate horizontal distance and are also found on the map legend.Interpreting Contour MapsHow does a topographic map tell you about the area? Let’s consider the following principles:1. The spacing of contour lines shows the slope of the land. Contour lines that are close together indicate a steep slope. This is because the elevation changes quickly in a small area. Contour lines that seem to touch indicate a very steep slope, like a cliff. When contour lines are spaced far apart, the slope is not steep. Contour lines help us see the three-dimensional shape of the land.Rivers and StreamsWhen contour lines cross a stream, they form a v-shape that indicates a river or stream. The "arrow" of the v-shape always points upstream towards the head of the river. Everyone knows that rivers, streams and creeks always flow downhill toward the mouth of the river and empty into a larger body of water.DepressionsAnother recognizable landform on topographic map is a depression. A depression is sort of the opposite of a hill. It is a ditch, or gully, or pit, where the elevation decreases towards the center. On a topographic map depressions look a lot like hills. They will appear as a series of closed circles one inside the other. However, to distinguish them from hills, depressions have hashmarks on all of the contour lines. This allows us to easily identify them as depressions.
