Compare the most recent data with the data presented in this module. Write at least two problems involving this data that can be solved with the help of a Venn diagram. For this reason, hikers and others often use topographic maps, which show elevation on contour lines. Although this feature makes it easier to identify the elevation of a specific location, forming a mental picture of the terrain can still be difficult. When a clear representation of the landscape is needed, mapmakers create relief maps.
Relief maps show the features of the terrain in three dimensions.
In this research project, you make a relief map of a region of your choice. Create a two-dimensional map of your area on graph paper. For example, Figure 7, shows a map of Montana on graph paper. MIT Geography-Elevations Find the elevation of any town or city, as well as other information Maps of Montana MORE Links to Maps b. Identify several locations of interest on your map and number them as illustrated in Figure 7.
