    Topographic Map Practice

    The topographic map below shows elevations measured in feet. Points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, M, X,


    and Y are locations on the map.

    Southeast
    1. In which direction is E from C? _____________________________________________________

    4 hilltops
    2. How many hilltops are shown on the map? ___________________________________________

    3.75 miles
    3. How many miles is it between points C and D? ________________________________________

    10 feet
    4. What is the contour interval of this map? _____________________________________________

    5. What are the elevations of the following points?

    100 feet
    A = ____________ 180 feet
    G = ____________ 170 feet
    C = ____________ 110 feet
    F = ____________ 100 feet
    D = ___________

    199 feet
    6. What is the highest possible elevation of point E? ______________________________________

    161 feet
    7. What is the lowest possible elevation of point M? ______________________________________

    Any value from 111 to 119 feet


    8. What is a possible elevation of point J? ______________________________________________
    © K. Coder 2015
    Any value from 141 to 149 feet
    9. What is a possible elevation of point H? ______________________________________________

    A depression or a ditch
    10. What feature is located at D? ______________________________________________________

    91 feet
    11. What is the lowest possible elevation inside the hachured line of D? ________________________

    12. In which direction is the river flowing? Explain how you determined the direction. ______________
    Northwest. The contour lines bend and point upstream.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    13. Between which two points is the Rocky River likely flowing fastest? Explain your answer. _______
    Between points Y and B because it is steeper.
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    14. Calculate the gradient between points A and C. Be sure to:


    a) Write the equation for gradient.
    b) Substitute values into the equation.
    c) Label your answer with the correct units.

    Gradient = change in field value = 170 – 100 feet = 18.7 ft/mi


    distance 3.75 miles

    15. On the grid below construct a topographic profile along line FG by plotting a point for the elevation
    of each contour line that crosses line FG. Connect the points with a smooth, curved line to
    complete the profile.
