Excerpt: ... e location of the features within a data set. Thematic Dimension: describes the real world feature(s) to which the data relate. Temporal Dimension: represents a record of when it was recorded and hence its timeliness for the GIS application. The sources may also be analogue (paper) or digital (computer) maps, values or recorded occurrences. 1 Existing Analogue and Digital Maps Let's start off by looking at topographic maps . These contain a range of different features, e.g. height, contours, land cover, boundaries and textual information. The topographic map provided in Figure 1 is produced by the UK Ordnance Survey and shows many different features in a small area of Wales such as contour lines, buildings, place names, roads, forested areas, etc. Figure 1: A topographic map showing an area in Wales. Reproduced with kind permission of Ordnance Survey Crown Copyright. NC/03/16495.

35_TopographicMaps
North Texas, COE 1252
Excerpt: ... Reading Topographic Maps TEKS 8.2 (E) construct graphs, tables, maps, and charts using tools including computers to organize, examine, and evaluate data. Learning Objectives 1. Identify structures on a topographic map. 2. Use a topographic map to describe the elevation of landforms. What is a topographic map? A topographic map is a special kind of map that provides 3 dimensional information in a drawing. Natural structures like mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, and rivers are shown on a topographic map. You will also find manmade structures like roads, boundaries, radio towers, and major buildings Topographic maps are used by engineers as they look for coal, oil, and gas. They can be used to plan residential and commercial . And they are used by the military and for recreational purposes like hiking and camping. How is elevation used in a topographic map? Sanger is 669 feet above sea level. The city of New Orleans is 6.5 feet below sea level. What does sea level mean? Notice the two high points ...

Hands-on model topography map in 3D Together we will build a 3-D model of a 2-D map of a 3-D surface. How is that for going full circle! Before we begin examine the map. On it are several contour lines. Points on any particular contour line is the same elevation as any other points on that same line. Thus the spatial distribution of labeled contour lines can display the lay of the land the different highs and lows in the landscape. 1. Describe the landscape (shape of the land) of this region just based on the map alone. 2. Let's model this to see what the landscape looks like in 3D. Describe the landscape now with the 3D model. 3. We will put thicker spacers in our mo ...
