Because the river is small at the top and big lower down. Just sometimes you get a river that is big at the top and smaller at the bottom, which is why you should never say "always".
The lines bend upward to show that the stream is running the opposite way. (For example, if the lines are pointing north, the stream is running south) **Contour lines bend toward the source when they go over a river/stream.

the river running through rock wear it down into deep valley with the steep sides what is it called
The point of the V is probably where there is a stream, river or wash.
The point of the V is probably where there is a stream, river or wash.
Contour lines will bend and point upstream to form a "V" shape when crossing a stream valley on a topographic map. The V-shape indicates the direction of the stream flow and shows the gradual slope of the valley.
it would bend towards the point of origin or where it starts.

The rule of "V" on a topographic map refers to the shape created by contour lines when they converge or come together. When contour lines form a "V" shape, it indicates a valley or a depression in the terrain. The point of the "V" always points upstream or towards higher elevation.

Providence is about 180 miles from Valley Stream.
A Misfit Stream is formed when water melted from the mountains flow into a U-shaped valley. Then because the stream is too small for the valley it is then called a misfit valley.
Look for contour lines that indicate the flow of water downhill. Check for small lines perpendicular to the stream that show the direction of the current. Identify the shape of the stream's valley, as valleys typically point in the direction of the stream flow.
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
A stream valley is usually 'V' shaped, formed by erosion from a stream. A glacial valley is usually 'U' shaped, formed by the action of a glacier.
