Topographic Map


A topographic map shows us the elevation of certain areas. I chose Clingman's Dome to create my map, which is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. To create the lines, I chose specific values in feet, and used tools in Google Earth to trace out the elevations. This process was complicated the different ridges in the area that sometimes led to odd lines being traced out. Overall, the lines retain similar shapes.
