Where is the highest point on the topographic map? Determine the average slope due north and due south of the highest point. Give your answer in feet per mile. Slope equals the change in elevation divided by the change in horizontal distance.

Question 2

What is the distance (in feet) indicated by adjacent contour lines? How is a difference of 100 ft indicated on the map?
