How would you determine the elevation of a point that falls between two contour lines?

The elevation of a point that falls between two contour lines can be approximately determined by averaging the elevation of those two points. Assuming the point is somewhat halfway between the lines, this can be done by adding the elevations and dividing by two.

What does a contour line look like?
A contour line is simply a line drawn on a map to show land the same elevation (height above sea level). The British Ordinance Survey maps, for example, typically use brown lines to shown land at 50 metre intervals. If you walked along a contour line, you would be walking on entirely flat ground, neither rising or falling. Where the contour lines on a map are close together, it means that the land rises or falls sharply, as on the side of hills, etc. You can see an image of contour lines on images.google.com - search "contour lines".
What do contour maps use to show elevation?
Contour maps are useful because it provides a relatively accurate measurement of altitude. Contour maps utilize contour lines to indicate different elevations. They identify the vertical and horizontal dimension of land surfaces or terrains. Contour maps are important because they accurately represent land form height as well as the watershed presence. Farmers can use this to plan how their fields will be plowed and planted. Hikers use them to plan hikes.
What does it mean if the contour interval on map is 25 feet?
A contour interval of 25 feet means that, between one contour and the next on a map, the ground rises (or falls) 25 feet. Contours closer together means that the slope is steeper, and contours further apart suggests a shallower incline.
