- You can figure out the elevation of any point by finding the nearest labeled line, counting the number of lines above or below it, multiplying by the contour interval, and adding or subtracting the result from the nearest marked contour line. The more closely spaced the contour lines, the steeper the slope.

If hikers walk along rugged trails, they might use a topographical map that shows how steeply the trails change. A topographical map contains curved lines called contour lines. Each contour line corresponds to the points on the map that have equal elevation (Figure 1).

The latitude and longitude coordinates of NRCan maps are found along the edge of a map (for example see the map of Canadian geology we studied in Chapter 1). On USGS topographic maps the latitude and longitude coordinates are found at the corners of the map (Figure 7.2).

A topographical map is a two-dimensional visualization of three-dimensional terrain through the so-called level curves or contours corresponding to points of equal elevation. Example 1. Here is a map of the region near South Hamilton, NY: (a) If you are standing where the black dot is, how high are you? What do you see when you look south?
Aug 18, 2022 · Many maps of land areas have series of curved lines, called contours, that represent the topography of the area. Such a map is called a topographic map. A contour is a horizontal curve that’s the locus of all points on the map with the same elevation (Figure 3-35). A good way to understand the concept of contours is to choose a series of ...
Level curves are the equivalent of contours on a topographical map. In such a map the terrain is shown by drawing curves through all points which have the same height above sea level. The numbers on the curves in the map shown below are the heights above sea level in metres.

The most direct process to determine the map you require is to visit the topographic maps section of the GeoGratis Website at. geogratis.ca. To order a Canadian topographic map, you must know either the location (longitude/ latitude) or the name of your area of interest (e.g. a major city, or a large body of water).
