1 Name: Laboratory 6: Topographic Maps Part 1: Construct a topographic map of the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre A topographic map is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional space. Topographic maps use contour lines, lines of equal elevation, to represent the vertical dimension (height) of the landscape. The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the pharaoh Khafre. Today the lab table supports a scaled model of the Pyramid of Khafre. Follow the steps below to create a topographic map of the model pyramid on the lab table. Use the graph paper on the following page to make your map. 1. First determine the dimensions of the pyramid by measuring the following pyramid features in inches: a. Base Side = inches (1 pt) b. Use a vertically oriented ruler to measure the height. Height = inches (1 pt) 2. Use the geometry of the pyramid to calculate the slope of the pyramid s face. Slope of pyramid face = (1 pt) 1
2 3. Now begin constructing a topographic map of the pyramid. Your paper is smaller than the base of the pyramid so you will need to create a scale in order to create your map. One of any unit of measurement on your map is equal to some number of that same unit of measurement in real life. For example, in a map with a scale of 1:24,000 one inch would equal 24,000 inches in real life. You have been measuring the dimensions of your pyramid in so lets think about inches to construct a map scale. How many inches on your map represent inches in real life? (Hint: your map is smaller than the pyramid so one inch on your map needs to represent several inches in real life) Scale number of units on map : number of units in real life 1 inch : inches (1 pt) Draw a scale bar that matches your scale on the map. (1 pt) 4. Using a ruler and the graph paper, draw the base of the pyramid to scale using the dimensions you measured in question 1a. Pyramids have a square base, so all the base sides will be the same length (1 pt) 5. Find the middle of the square using the geometry of the base of the pyramid. Mark the middle with a point and label the point with the maximum elevation (or height) of the pyramid you measured. (1 pt) 6. Contour lines are lines on a map that represent points of equal elevation in the landscape. For example, if you climbed half-way up the pyramid and then traversed around the pyramid while maintaining the same elevation and dragging a paint brush behind you.you would draw one contour line on the pyramid. The stacks of horizontal paper below cuts the mountain at equal intervals of elevation. The intersection between the landscape and the horizontal paper marks the location of the contour lines on a twodimensional map. Now draw contour lines on your map to represent the pyramid in three-dimensions on your map. Use a contour interval of 4 inches. (5 pts) 7. All good maps have a title, north arrow, and scale. Make sure these things are on your map! The windows in the geology lab face towards the west. (3 pts) 2

4 Part 2: Understanding Topographic Maps 8. Label the elevation of the contours on the map below. Watch out for depressions with repeated contours! (13 pts) 9. The shaded relief map to the right provides elevation measurements across Mount Mauna Loa, an active Hawaiian volcanic island. Using a 3000 m contour interval, draw and label the contour lines across the island. Sea level elevation = 0 m. Don t forget about the rule of V's! (2 pts) Contour Interval = 20 m Estimate the elevation of location X by interpolating between the contour lines. X = m (2 pts) (Shaded relief model and elevations across Mauna Loa from Temple University 4
5 10. Using the topographic map below, construct a topographic profile from A to A. Fold your paper along the dotted line below the grap and line the crease up with the A to A profile line. Grey shaded areas are rivers. See page 189 in your lab book. (10 pts) A A' Contour Interval = 20m Scale: 1 inch = 1000 m 800 m 800 m 700 m 700 m 600 m 600 m FOLD HERE! FOLD HERE! On the profile you just created: (1 point each) a. What is the horizontal scale in meters/inch? m/inch b. What is the vertical scale in meters/inch? m/inch c. What is the vertical exaggeration? 5
6 Part 3: Topography of Mt. Saint Helens For this section, examine the topographic map of Mt. Saint Helens! All of the information in this section is written somewhere on the map so it should be relatively easy to find (1 pt each) Part I: Basic Topographic Map Features 1. What is the name of this quadrangle? 2. What part of Washington State is this quadrangle in? 3. Is this a 7 ½ or a 15 minute quadrangle? 4. What is the difference in area between a 7 ½ and a 15 minute quadrangle? 5. What is the ratio scale of this map? 6. How many meters in real life does 1 cm on the map equal? 1 cm on the map = meters in real life 7. What is the magnetic declination in the area of this map? 8. If you wanted to hike eastward past the limit of this map, which quadrangle would you need a map of? 9. Benchmarks are locations of known location and elevation. Benchmarks are shown on the topographic map by an x symbol followed by the elevation value. Calculate the total relief shown on the topographic map using the benchmarks. Total relief = ft 6
7 Part II: Using Topographic Maps for Measurement and Navigation Now that you understand the basics, try and find your way around the map. 10. What is the distance in meters between the northern and southern peaks at Butte Camp Dome? (1 pt) 11. If you hiked east along the Muddy River, would you be traveling uphill or downhill? (1 pt) m 12. What is the horseshoe-shaped structure in the center of the map? (1 pt) 13. What is the small (about one inch) feature in the center of this horseshoe-shaped structure? (1 pt) 14. What feature is located at the northern opening of this horseshoe-shaped structure? What do you think caused this? (2 points) 15. Where is the majority of the vegetation located on this map? Why? (2 pts) 16. What low-relief feature is located to the north of Sasquatch steps (in the N area of the map)? (2 pts) a. How do you think it got this name? (2 pts) b. Where do you think these rocks originated? (2 pts) c. Would you expect rocks on this map to be mainly igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic? (2 pts) 17. If you wanted to hike to the lava dome to roast marshmallows, what would be the easiest direction to hike from? Why? (3 pts) 7
8 18. You are standing at the lava dome and want navigate to the following locations using your map and compass. What is the compass bearing from the lava dome to the following locations? Choose either the azimuthal or quadrant method to represent your bearing in degrees. a. Crescent Ridge? (2 pts) b. Redrock Pass? (2 pts) c. Forsyth Glacier? (2 pts) 19. Look at the glaciers on the map. (2 points each) a. What feature is present at the base of most glaciers? b. Why is this feature present? 20. Locate the Shoestring Glacier. (4 pts) a. What is the length of the glacier in km? b. What is the relief of the glacier in ft? km ft c. What is the relief of the glacier in meters (1 m = 3.28 ft)? m d.
