Textbook Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 1A
Use the elevations in Figure 7.12 as a guide for drawing contour lines. The 100-foot contour line is provided for reference. Using a 20-foot contour interval, use a pencil to draw a contour line for each 20-foot change in elevation below and above 100 feet (eg. 60 feet, 80 feet, 120 feet) You will have to estimate the elevations between the points. Label each contour line with its elevation
