It means a small difference in elevation
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill indicate a steep slope or ridge. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the slope.
V-shaped contour lines indicate a valley or a depression when the point is uphill. The V-shape of the contour lines indicates that the elevation is decreasing in that direction, forming a valley or depression.
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.
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.

uphill
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.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
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.
