Map Relief And Elevation

In this Mountain Skills Presentation we will look at some ways that the mountains and landscape can be depicted on maps. Understanding maps is a fundamental skill. Spend some time examining the contours on a map. Map makers use colour, height, contour lines and a huge selection of symbols  to give us useful information that allows us to understand the map and how it relates to the landscape it represents.
