Question

how to identify escarpment on a topographic map​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers written in brown along the contour lines indicate elevation of the line. For this map elevation is in feet above sea level. Forested areas are represented by areas shaded green; for Spruce Knob this means most of the area.

Answer 2

Answer:

Topographic maps also have a vertical scale to allow the determination of a point in three dimensional space. Contour Lines: Contour lines are used to determine elevations and are lines on a map that are produced from connecting points of equal elevation (elevation refers to height in feet, or meters, above sea level).
