Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.24 Topographic Maps and Landform Profiles skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Study the topographic map of a park with scenic overlook options A, B, C, and D. Which site is best for an overlook that is high, safe, and reachable by most visitors?
Athe point on a ridge above the valley with a moderate trail approach
Bthe lowest point beside the stream
Cthe sharp peak reached only by the steepest slope
Dthe center of the depression
Solution & Explanation:A ridge overlook gives elevation and views while a moderate trail makes the site safer and more accessible than a sharp peak or a low valley site.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Without a spot height, the exact elevation of a summit cannot be known if no higher contour is drawn.
ATrue
BFalse
Solution & Explanation:The map only tells that the summit lies between the highest drawn contour and the next contour that would have been added.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A student sees concentric contour lines on a map and says, "The top must be flat." What is the best correction?
AConcentric contours always show oceans.
BConcentric contours can only mean a depression.
CConcentric contours prove the summit height exactly.
DConcentric contours show elevation change, but a flat top needs evidence such as a broad high area or spot heights.
Solution & Explanation:Closed contours show shape and elevation change, but they do not automatically prove the summit is flat.
