  2. Chapter 2 Sect. 3 • Imagine that you are on an outdoor adventure trip. The purpose of this trip is to improve your survival skills by having you cross over undeveloped territories with only a compass and a map.

  3. Topographic • Topographic map is a map that shows surface features, or topography of the Earth. Topographic map that shows surface features.

  4. Elevation • Elevation is the height of an object above sea level. The elevation at sea level is zero. In this section you will learn how to interpret a topographic map. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), has made topographic maps for all the United States.

  5. Contour Lines • Lines that connect points of equal elevation. For example one contour line will connect points on a map that has an elevation of hundred (100) feet. Another line would connect points on a map that has an elevation of two hundred (200) feet.

  6. Contour Interval • The difference in elevation between one (1) contour line and the next. • For example a map with contour interval of twenty (20) feet would have contour lines every twenty (20) feet.
