#	Question	Answer
1	What are the brown lines on a topo map called?	Contour lines.
2	A brown line on a topo map says 4500. Which direction is downhill?	Under the number when read right side up.
3	How do you tell the elevation difference between two adjacent brown lines on a topo map?	The contour interval is stated at the bottom of the map.
4	How can you tell which way is uphill on a topo map?	Elevation numbers are written along lines such that up is above the number.
