The following questions are based on Map T-4, a portion of the “Voltaire, North Dakota” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 5 feet) and Figure 40-4, a stereogram of the same region showing the Souris River (48°06'23"N, 100°48'05"W). (a) Length of present meandering course: __________ miles (b) Length of a straight course down the valley: __________ miles
