1. What is the contour interval on this map?

2. What is the highest contour line on the map?

3. What is the highest possible elevation on the map?

4. What do the hatch marks on Vails Gate Mountain represent?

5. Give the approximate elevation of the following points:

a. Abel Pond ______

b. Coren Swamp ______

c. Denman Orchard ______

d. Callister City Church ______

6. Towards what direction does Newburgh River flow?

7. What area is the steepest on the map?

8. What area is most similar to a plain?

9. How far is it from Callister School to the peak of Temple Hill, in miles?

10. What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of where Route 84 crosses Newburgh River?

11. What is the gradient along Newburgh River on this map?

======Now do the following: 1. Neatly label the elevation of all contour lines (notice that some lines are already labeled). 2. LIGHTLY shade in all water areas blue. (Hint: rivers, creek, lake, pond, and stream) 3. LIGHTLY shade in all elevations as follows… less than 100ft = yellow 100ft – 200ft = orange 200ft – 300ft = red 300ft or more = brown ======
