Best Answer

A plain or flat area on a contour map is recognized by contour lines. Thick contour lines have elevations printed on them periodically. They can also use supplemental contours that represent smaller vertical distances using dashed lines.

The contours (if ther are any ) will be widely spaced. Areas where the contours are close together are steep areas. Also the colouring maybe different.

Look at the map, in the picture for this question, the white areas where there is no contour lines are flat areas
