Activity Sheet #4, page 3. Find the hill that rises steeply on one side and more smoothly on the other. On the topogrpahic map, draw a path up the gentler slope of the hill to the highest point. (Hint: remember that when contour lines are close together, the ground is very steep.) Draw a path showing a very steep way up the hill.

A topographic map is a representa-tion of a three-dimensional surface on a flat piece of paper. The digital eleva-tion model on the poster is helpful in understanding topographic maps. Contour lines, sometimes called "level lines," join points of equal elevation. The closer together the contour lines appear on a topographic map, the steeper the ...

A topographic map is a detailed and accurate illustration of man-made and natural features on the ground such as roads, railways, power transmission lines, contours, elevations, rivers, lakes and geographical names. The topographic map is a two-dimensional representation of the Earth’s three-dimensional landscape.
2. Print your section of the map in colour: you will use this as a base layer for your 3D model to be placed on. 3. Follow the instructions for tracing the topographic map using Inkscape to produce a vector file. 4. Turn your vector file into a 3D model by following the instructions for using Tinkercad. 6.

What is the elevation at the point on line A-B where it crosses Snapper Creek? _____ 4. If you walked from point A to point B along line A-B, would you be walking
Building a Colorful Topographic Map off of Benchmarks. Use the benchmark points below to draw contour lines. The contour lines should be drawn at 20 foot intervals. When you complete the contour lines, fill each layer in with a different color. This worksheet has many different reference points to work off of.

This is a topographic map with contour lines that show points that are on the same level. Here, the two hills are seen from the side, with elevations marked and dotted lines pointing to the corresponding contour lines. 1. Color the elevations on the topographic map as follows: 50m=Blue, 40m=Red, 30m=Purple, 20m=Yellow, 10m=Green. 2.
