Contour Map Cross-Section Practice — 20 Worksheets
Worksheet 1 — Cross-Section Practice
Name: ____________________ Date: ______________
Instructions: Contour interval = 10 m. Horizontal scale (map): 1 SVG width unit (~400 px) ≈ 1000 m. Vertical scale for grid: 1 square = 10 m. Draw the topographic profile along line A–B on the blank grid.
100 m 110 m 120 m 130 m A B Scale: 1 map width ≈ 1000 m Contour interval = 10 m
170 m 140 m 110 m 80 m 50 m 20 m Cross-section grid (vertical: 1 square = 10 m) Distance along A–B →
Draw the profile on the grid, mark key elevations where the A-B line crosses contours, then connect.
Worksheet 2 — Cross-Section Practice
Name: ____________________ Date: ______________
Instructions: Contour interval = 10 m. Horizontal scale (map): 1 SVG width unit ≈ 1000 m. Vertical scale for grid: 1 square = 10 m. Draw the topographic profile along line A–B on the blank grid.
200 m 210 m 220 m 230 m A B Contour interval = 10 m
Cross-section grid (vertical: 1 square = 10 m) Distance along A–B →
Label major contour crossing points (e.g., where A–B crosses the 200 m, 210 m contours) before plotting.
Worksheet 3 — Cross-Section Practice
Name: ____________________ Date: ______________
Instructions: Contour interval = 10 m. Horizontal scale (map): 1 SVG width unit ≈ 1000 m. Vertical scale for grid: 1 square = 10 m. Draw the topographic profile along line A–B on the blank grid.
60 m 70 m 80 m 90 m A B Contour interval = 10 m
Cross-section grid (vertical: 1 square = 10 m) Distance along A–B →
This one represents a valley. Identify the lowest elevation along A–B before plotting the profile.
Worksheet 4 — Cross-Section Practice
Name: ____________________ Date: ______________
Instructions: Contour interval = 10 m. Horizontal scale (map): 1 SVG width unit ≈ 1000 m. Vertical scale for grid: 1 square = 10 m. Draw the topographic profile along line A–B on the blank grid.
150 m 160 m 170 m A B Contour interval = 10 m
Cross-section grid (vertical: 1 square = 10 m) Distance along A–B →
Short A–B across the hill top — expect a symmetrical profile.
