INTRODUCTION
Figure 1: Relief features portrayed by the technique of contouring
A major problem in map making is the visual representation of relief features such as
mountains, plateaus, hills, and valleys. The essential difficulty is that we are accustomed to viewing
these and other surface features from ground level rather than from above. Thus, the appearance of
relief features diagrammed from above, and as they are shown on a map, is unfamiliar to most of us.
Relief features are accurately and effectively portrayed by the rather sophisticated technique
of contouring. Contour lines are the most widely employed method of illustrating relief on large-scale
maps. By definition, a contour is a line connecting points of equal elevation (vertical distance above
mean sea level). Contours are drawn as roughly parallel lines on a map.
Although the spacing of the lines may vary, the amount of elevation change between successive
contours is constant throughout a given map.
This change in elevation is known as contour interval. Information of the contour interval of a given
map is shown in the margin of the map, along with map scale and other pertinent information. Be
sure to make note of the contour interval before interpreting a topographic map, as contour interval
varies from map to map.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this lab experiment is to plot the contours of an area by method of squares (or
gridding). Write a lab report following the format mentioned below.

Question [1]
[100 pts.]
Write a lab report and include the following:
1- Use the method of square and create a grid to show the location of contour lines.
2- Determine the RL of all stations, using the Height of Instrument method.
3- Plot the reduced level on the grid.
4- Choose a suitable elevation values for contours (minimum 3 contour lines).
5- Plot the required contours by means of interpolation.
Note: The Benchmark elevation is 200m.

In addition to the technical skills evaluation, during this assessment, the below points will be
evaluated:
•
The ability of each student to help other teammates and demonstrate leadership, the tasks’
distribution among the team members, working as a team and making collective decisions
[SO(5)-PI5a].
•
Building-up a and functioning in a competitive and argumentative environment, while
resolving team members conflicts [SO(5)-PI5b].
•
The ability of the team to provide clear team goals and a schedule/timeline (Gantt chart)
and to make any adjustments when needed to complete the work [SO(5)-PI5c].
•
Contributing to the execution of plans, by completing individual tasks timely, interacting
with other team members and providing constructive feedback to other team members
[SO(5)-PI5d]
