Lab-1 Tasks

  1. See handout (available online
  2. Label contours on Fig. 1, contour interval is 20 ft., contour values are generally convenient numbers divisible by 5 or 10.
  3. Determine the elevation of the 4 labeled points on Fig. 1
  4. Construct a topographic profiles along line A-B of Fig. 1, use graph paper provided as Fig. 2 if desired.
  5. Draw contours on Fig. 3, using interval of 5 feet. Remember to use some intuition here, this is not just a ``connect-the-dots'' exercise.
