Slope direction is calculated perpendicular to the contour lines.
Water flows downhill... ...so the direction of flow is always perpendicular to the
contour lines, since this is the steepest slope

every 5th contour is an index contour shown in bold

contours very close together show a cliff
a spot elevation is a point of known elevation used as a pt of reference for surveys.
a benchmark (BM): point of known position & elevation used as a pt of reference for surveys.
green areas show forest cover; white areas denote fields
a contour interval is the vertical distance b/w contours. 10’ on topos; 2-5’ on site plans
contour lines of a ridge are in a “U” that always points downhill
