What Is the Contours and Map Setting Chart Used For?
A contour line joins points that stand at the same height above mean sea level, and the difference in height between neighbouring lines is the contour interval. Once students can read the pattern, a flat toposheet turns into a landscape. Lines crowded together mean a steep slope and lines spaced widely a gentle one; closed rings that rise towards the centre show a conical hill; V-shaped contours pointing uphill mark a valley, while those pointing downhill mark a spur; a dip between two summits is a saddle, or col; and lines that run into one another show a cliff. This is the heart of the topographical maps chapter in the NCERT class 11 practical geography book, where students also draw cross-sections from contours, and of toposheet work in ICSE geography.
Map setting, or orienting a map, means turning the sheet until its north points to north on the ground, so that every road, stream and hill on paper lines up with the real feature. With a compass, the map is turned until the needle lies along its north line, allowing for the small difference between magnetic north and true north; without one, two landmarks that can be identified both on the ground and on the map are lined up instead. Hung in the geography lab, the chart gives the class a shared reference during map-reading periods and before fieldwork. The listing does not itemise the drawings, so ask for a preview image if your syllabus needs a particular landform shown.
What to Specify When Ordering

- Preview — an image of the chart, to compare its landforms with your toposheet syllabus.
- Compasses for field practice — a map compass for setting the sheet, or a prismatic compass for bearings.
- Delivery — destination town or, for export, country, port and FOB or CIF terms, plus any tender reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size and finish is this chart?
It is laminated and measures 50 x 75 cm, with English and Hindi combined.
What do contour lines show on a topographical map?
The height and shape of the land. Each line links places at the same height above mean sea level, so the spacing of the lines shows how steep the ground is and their pattern shows landforms such as hills, valleys and spurs.
How can students tell a valley from a spur?
By the direction of the V. In a valley the V-shaped contours point uphill, towards higher ground; on a spur they point downhill. A stream drawn along the V confirms a valley.
How does a cliff appear on a contour map?
As contour lines that crowd together until they almost merge, because the height changes over a very short horizontal distance.
What does map setting mean?
Turning a map so its directions match the directions on the ground, using either a compass or landmarks that can be seen both on the map and in the field.
Which hill features are drawn on the chart?
The listing names the topic but does not list the drawings. Request a preview image before ordering if you need a specific feature such as a plateau or a gorge.
