Trivia Question

"REC ROOM"

 

There are three types of contour lines. "Contour Lines", "Index Contour Lines", and "Supplemental Contour Lines." If you look close at a map, you will see that some contour lines are drawn "heavier." These heavier contour lines are the Index Contour Lines.

Look at an Index Contour Line. With a sharp pencil, follow that Index Contour Line (either direction) and eventually you will see a number written on that line.

This is the elevation of that Index Contour Line. If you look at the contour interval at the bottom center of the margin, you will see the unit of measure. It will say either feet or meters.

Let's say that the number you found on the Index Contour was 2200 and the contour interval is 40 feet. Then the elevation of that Index Contour Line is 2,200 feet.
