Elevation is the height of a geographic location or feature above or below mean sea level. Elevation can be shown on a map with contours, which connect points with the same elevation, or by labeling the exact elevations of particular points. Maps that show elevations are called topographic maps.
This contour map shows elevation contours. The bolder contour lines show elevations in 25-foot increments and the thinner lines show elevation in 5-foot increments.
