### Contour Mapping Exercise

#### Instructions:
Draw contours on the following map using a contour interval of **5 feet**.

#### Map Details:

- **Features:**
  - **Prey Stream**: A curving waterway running through the map from the top left to the middle-right area, labeled clearly.
  - **Raptor Lake**: Located in the bottom-right corner, with a marked elevation of **45 feet**.

- **Elevation Points**: Numbers scattered across the map indicate various elevations:
  - Range from **46** to **69** feet across different areas.
  - Concentrated higher elevations (e.g., 69 feet) are near the top-left.
  - Lower elevations surround the lake, starting at 46 feet and increasing outward.

- **Topography**: The area around Prey Stream slopes downward toward Raptor Lake, where the lowest elevations are found.

When drawing contours, ensure that each line connects points of equal elevation, creating a visual representation of the landscape's layout. Each contour line should be spaced to reflect the 5-foot intervals specified.
