From Topographic Maps to Digital Elevation Models Daniel Sheehan DUE Office of Educational Innovation Technology Anne Graham MIT Libraries Which Way Does the Water Flow? Elevation values are printed in several places along these lines. Contours that are very close together represent steep slopes. Widely spaced contours or an absence of contours means that the ground slope is relatively level. The elevation difference between adjacent contour lines, called the contour interval, is selected to best show the general shape of the terrain. A map of a relatively flat area may have a contour inter
