### Topographic Map Analysis

#### Map Explanation

This topographic map displays a range of contour lines, streams, and elevation points around locations labeled A to G. The contour lines illustrate changes in elevation, helping to identify slopes, hilltops, and valleys. Streams shown on the map provide information about water flow direction.

#### Compass
On the top right corner, a compass indicating the cardinal directions (North, East, South, and West) assists with orientation.

#### Questions and Answers

1. **What is the contour interval of this map?**
- Hint: Use the number near E and 1000 to help.
- **Answer:** *Information not provided in the transcription.*

2. **What direction is the stream flowing at A?**
- **Answer:** South

3. **What direction is the stream flowing at B?**
- **Answer:** Southeast

4. **What is the highest possible elevation at the mountain top near C?**
- **Answer:** 4,292 ft

5. **What is the elevation of D?**
- **Answer:** 2,250 ft

6. **What is the elevation of E?**
- **Answer:** 1,282 ft

7. **If you were at E, could you see D? Why or why not?**
- **Answer:** *Information not provided in the transcription.*

8. **At which letter is there no slope at all (a flat area) and how can you tell?**
- **Answer:** *Information not provided in the transcription.*

9. **If you were walking from B to D would you be going up or down hill?**
- **Answer:** *Information not provided in the transcription.*

10. **If you were walking from A to G would you be going up or down hill?**
