What Is Meant by the Contour Interval on a Topographic Map?

Individual contour lines on a topographical map are a fixed interval of elevation apart known as a contour interval. Common contour intervals are 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, or 100 feet. The actual contour interval of a map depends upon the topography being represented as well as the scale of the map.
