Contour Map Drawing Worksheet

This two-page Letter PDF is for students working with contour maps and spot heights in metres. Each dot shows a spot height, and the task is to draw contour lines every 10 m by interpolating between the dots. One example explains that the 50 m contour runs halfway between 45 m and 55 m spots. An answer key is included, with computer-drawn contours from the same heights.
