Contour lines don’t show specific heights of features
(like mountain peaks, hilltops, valley floors, towns,
roads, etc.) such heights can be shown on maps using
spot heights, trigonometric points, benchmarks, etc.
5’ Evaluation What are the methods applied on the map to show such
specific heights?
What are the main differences observed among the
methods used on the map?
