What is the elevation of this highest location?

The question is based on this contour line map with elevations shown in feet.

• North is to the top of the map.

• Streams are shown with dashed lines.

• A graphic scale for measuring horizontal distances is shown below the map.

• Estimate elevations between contour lines to the nearest half-contour interval; assume that the top of a

hill is one-half-contour interval higher than the highest contour line shown.





What will be an ideal response?
