How to build a nice topographic profile
Mark initial point 2 cm away from the margin
Fold the margin
Fix your letter A with the one in the map and
mark final point (B) in the graph paper
Mark in the margin every contour line that you come accross
Mark the elevations that you know looking at the countour lines
Complete the information for every mark
Unfold the graph paper again.
Use the horizontal scale to calculate the space needed to represent your profile
Make sure your highest elevation will be included in the graph
Leave 2 or 3 cm and draw the grids of your graph including letters A and B
Mark the height represented in the axis of the graph (including the units).
Locate each dot in the graph considering its elevation
Join the dots together forming a natural profile.
Do not ignore the original map, especially to complete the edges and to mark
the top of the hills
Write down the scale
Draw a nice graphic scale
