THE TOPOGRAPHIC MAP.

On the topographic maps made by
the United States Geological Survey
the mountains, hills valleys, and can
yons-all the features that make up
the varied surface of the areas map
ped-are portrayed by means of
contour lines. Each contour line rep
resents a certain height above sea
leveEthat is, it indicates course or
contour along which all points are at
exactly the same altitude AS con-
tours are continuous horizontal line
they wind smoothly about smooth
surface, recede into all reentrant an
giles or ravines, and project in pass
ing around prominent points. Thus
a person following the path indicated
by the contour line, say the 1,000-foot
contour would go irregularly around
hills and ravines but would always
walk on the same level, namely, at
an altitude of 1000 feet.
The contour lines on the maps are
spaced to represent equal vertical i'm
tervals or differences in altitude. The
vertical interval between any two
contours as represented on one map
is the same, whether they lie along
a cliff or on a gentle slope; but to
attain given height it is necessary
to go further ON a gentle slope than
ON steep slope, and therefore con-
tours are far apart ON gentle slopes
and near together ON steep ones. The
spacing of the contour lines thus in
dicates the approximate grade of any
slope.
With little practice i'm reading the
contour lines the traveller finds the
topographic maps of the Geological
Survey a most exact picture of the
country, enabling him to see at
glance the character of any particular
area. That the maps are of popular
utility lis shown, for instance, by the
fact that the Survey sells thousands
of them to automobilists every month.
Last years sales of these maps
amounted to more than half million
