Question
For this part of the lab you will need to use Maps $3.5$ and $3.6$ (appearing at the end of this chapter). Following Maps $3.5$ and $3.6$ is a Map Key that you can use to identify the various symbols found on topographic maps.Also, note that the maps are in color and the colors have significance in terms of the symbols.Examine the large Ridge in the Northwestern portion of the map. What is the tallest point in this ridge? How tall is it?
