What is the elevation change between two adjacent lines on a map?

Those lines representing elevation on a map are called contour lines. The difference in elevation between two of these lines is called the contour interval. Different maps use different contour intervals based on the scale of the map, or in other words, the size of the contour interval is based on how zoomed in and detailed the map is. Sometimes a map will have darker and thicker contour intervals. This is called the Index Contour Interval. Index contour intervals appear less frequently and represent a larger elevation change. It helps you figure out the amount of a large elevation difference faster because usually they are multiples of 100 or 1000, making them easier to add up.

How is a contour line different from a contour interval?

The contour lines on a map indicate changes in elevation above sea level (or below, occasionally). The amount of change in elevation between lines is shown on the map legend, and will vary depending on the size of the map and the type of terrain.


What is the contour interval on a orthophoto map?

Contour interval is the actual change in elevation represented by the space between two adjacent topographic "rings". For example, if there is a contour interval of 20 feet, each topographic line on the map represents going either up or down by 20 feet of elevation (and sometimes it's hard to tell which). For convenience, many mapmakers include numbers every four or five lines to tell you what elevation is represented by that line.
