@masteredgeacademy: Contour Maps: The Shape of the Land What’s a contour map? Each contour line represents points of equal elevation, allowing surveyors to transform the 3D shape of the real world into a 2D map. The mountain you see in front of you has an elevation changes. On paper, those same features become contour lines. #Surveying #Contour #Surveyor #Topography #masteredgeacademy
