The highest elevation point is represented by a number...number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain. The lines are not circles and where they are wavy, this indicates places where the mountain juts out.

What represents hilltops on maps?
Hilltops are typically represented on maps using contour lines, which show the elevation and shape of the land. Hilltops are indicated by concentric circles that close in on each other as they approach the top, with the highest point marked by a spot height or elevation number.
What is the difference between a mountain and a peak?
A mountain is a landmass that projects conspicuously and is always higher than a hill. A peak is the highest point of a mountain.
Contour lines that form a circle indicate?
Contour lines forming a circle on a topographic map indicate a hill or summit. This circular pattern of contour lines represents a peak with increasingly lower elevations as you move outward from the center of the circle. This can help in identifying the highest point in a specific area.
What does it mean to summit?
get to a high point, the highest point depending on subject
What is labeled to indicate the elevation along a contour line?
Contour lines are typically labeled with their elevation, indicating the vertical distance above a reference point, such as sea level. This allows users to easily determine the elevation profile of the land or terrain represented on a map.
Why is the highest point of a hill represented by an x not a contour line?
Contour lines are spaced at a regular height above sea level - every 50 metres, for example. The highest point of a hill may be just above the highest contour line. Therefore a spot or summit height symbol may be used to mark the highest point on the map.
How can you tell from the map which point on the hill is the highest?
Look for the point where contour lines are closest together or where the numbers on the contour lines are highest. This indicates the highest elevation on the hill.
What is the name for the highest point of a mountain?
The highest point of a mountain is called the summit.
How can you tell the highest point on a map?
Look for the spot with the highest elevation contour line and elevation numbers. Typically, the highest point on a map is where the contour lines are closest together, indicating steep terrain.

What is the highest point in Bosnia?
Highest point in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Maglic mountain (2.386m).
What would the highest and lowest points in an area look like on a topographic map?
The highest point in an area would appear as a peak or summit with concentric contour lines closely spaced together, indicating steep terrain. The lowest point would be represented by depressions or valleys with contour lines spaced farther apart, showing gentle slopes leading to the lowest elevation.
