A valley
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
When V-shaped contour lines point downhill, they indicate a valley or depression on the map. When they point uphill, they indicate a ridge or hill on the map.
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a valley or depression in the landscape. The closed end of the V-shape typically points in the direction of higher elevation.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.

uphill
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a valley or depression in the landscape. The closed end of the V-shape typically points in the direction of higher elevation.
If contour lines on a map are spaced closely together, it indicates a steep slope, possibly an uphill area. Conversely, if contour lines are spaced far apart, it suggests a gentle slope or a downhill area. By observing the pattern of contour lines and their spacing, you can determine the direction of the terrain—whether it's going uphill or downhill.
On a topographic map, contour lines that are closer together indicate a steeper slope.
Contour lines that are far apart indicate gradual slopes, while contour lines that are close together indicate steep slopes.
Evenly spaced contour lines mean a steady slope, uphill or downhill.
Contour lines on a topographic map that are close together indicate a steep slope, while contour lines that are far apart indicate a gentle slope. If the contour lines form a V-shape pointing uphill, it indicates a valley, and if they form a V-shape pointing downhill, it indicates a ridge. The contour lines help users visualize the shape and steepness of the land surface.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
Contour lines that touch or overlap on a topographic map indicate a
V-shaped contour lines that point uphill typically indicate the presence of a river or stream valley. The point of the "V" shape indicates the direction of the water flow, with the open end facing downstream. As you follow the contour lines uphill, you would likely find elevated land features such as hills or ridges.
