The elevation of the surface of a lake is a good indication of the level of the water table at that location. Assuming that the elevation of a lake is half a contour interval lower than the contour line closest to the shore, determine the elevations of the following lakes.
The following questions are based on Map T-8, the “Putnam Hall, Florida” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 10 feet).
