This document contains a lecture on contour mapping given by Mohd Salman Ahmed, a lecturer in civil engineering at Ahmed's Institute of Excellence. The lecture discusses the characteristics of contours, how to read contour plans, and how to interpret information from contour maps. Key points covered include that contours have the same elevation, spacing depends on slope, closed contours indicate hills or depressions, and contours cannot cross except at overhanging cliffs. The document provides examples and a short quiz to assess understanding.
