What are the steps to draw a
topographic profile
place a piece of paper between the points
mark where every contour line
touches the edge of the paper
determine the elevation of each mark
paper on the graph and mark the
place the elevation of each contour line
Using the map and chart below,
construct a topographic map profile.
Please match the contour map on the left with the profile on the right.
Topographical Maps
Close line =Steep Slope
Contour lines bend upstream when crossing a river
Depressions are shown by small marks (Hachur lines)
pointing inward off the contour line
