How to read a Topographic / Contour Map

Geography mapwork skills: How to read a Contour / Topographic map. If you understand the basics of relief features on topo maps such as contour lines, contour interval, trig station/beacon, spot heights, etc., you will find it a lot easier to interpret topo maps.

How do we find the contour numbers when you are just given a spot height

Good day sir, please can you measure from point a to point c?

[@luba83744]

I'm a bit confused because aren't the countour lines for a topographical map always 20meters?

[@user-vg6mr9eo2c]

How do we find co-ordinates in topographic maps?

[@ashiemanyonga314]

hie Mr Fish how about of they say what is the height of the constructed feature in the river valley just north side and identify the height of the land in the river valley by the way my name is nandipa

[@adegboyeadekunle5199]

To know the highest point on the map, are we to consider only the highest contour line or highest spot height or both?

[@fish9529]

Sorry for the late reply. It depends, you have to check both, even trig stations.

Please what if the question says you need to draw a contour map showing a river valley and mountain spur ,how do we draw that?

[@fish9529]

Hi Tshilidzi, Some time ago, I drew my own features (including the ones you mentioned) on the computer and made a video using the sketches I had made. I explain each of these features in my video. Here is the link, I hope it helps! ruclips.net/video/q2lJZV1yC6o/видео.html

Just take a paper and pencil and try it out a few times. May the studies go well!

I am not convince abou the contour interval

[@fish9529]

Why not? Please let me know.

[@jerrehcolley5985]

@@fish9529 to me the way I read the contour interval is when we have a contour of 100 150 200 250 then the contour interval will be 50 but not counting does small lines in between the thick contours
