Problem: Can you visualize the topography between Pond and Fort Adams, LA in preparation for the coming field trip in February?
 
 

Question: Draw a topographic cross-section for the map between points A and B using

 three different vertical scales: (1) 1" = 100 feet, (2) 1" = 50 feet and (3) 1" = 25 feet
 
 

Indicate the contour interval.

Draw a horizontal scale. What is the horizontal scale in inches per mile?

 Mark the orientation on your cross-section.

 What is the vertical exaggeration on each cross-section.
