Two contour lines next to one another are separated by a constant difference in elevation (e.g. 20 ft or 100 ft.). This difference between contour lines is called the contour interval. You can calculate the contour interval. The legend on the map will also tell you the contour interval.

Take the difference in elevation between 2 bold lines.

Divide that difference by the number of contour lines between them, PLUS 1.

Vertical interval is numeric difference between the two contour lines.

Explanation:

  • A contour line is also known as an isoline or an isopleth and is a function of the two variables such as x and y.  
  • A contour map shows the contour lines and a topographic map depict the valleys and hills. contour interval tells us the difference between the two different contours. They may be separated by a constant difference such as based on the elevation of the terrain ex 20 or 30 meters.
