General Aspects of Topographic Maps

 

Use the topographic map (the file named “Topographic Map.pdf” available within this assignment) to answer the following questions:

 

  1. What is the name of the quadrangle?

ANSWER: VALERA QUADRANGLE TEXAS_COLEMAN C0.

 

 

 

  1. What is the latitude along the South border of the map?

ANSWER: 31º45’

 

 

 

  1. What is the longitude along the West border of the map (in the northwest corner)?

ANSWER: 99º37’30’’

 

 

 

  1. What is the magnetic declination in the area covered by the map?

ANSWER: 9 1/2º

 

 

 

  1. What is the ratio scale of the map?

ANSWER: 1:24000

 

 

 

  1. What are the latitude and longitude of the radio tower north of Highway 67?

ANSWER:

 

 

 

  1. What is the contour interval on the map?

ANSWER:10 FEET

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. What is the elevation of the radio tower (from question 6)?

 

 

 

 

  1. If a map has a ratio scale of 1:24000, how many miles do 3 inches on the map represent? (show your work)

 

1 inch(map) = 24000 inch(ground) = 2000ft

24000 * 1/12 = 2000 feet

2000 *1/5280 = 0.378 inches

3 * 0.378 = 1.134miles
