What is wrong with my Contours? I'm using ArcGIS Pro

I want my contours to look like Topo Lines on a topo map.

But these lines are not looking correct, I think it is a setting that I need to change, such as "contour interval" perhaps.

You will need to add the State of Hawaii's server to your project. To do that in ArcGIS Pro, go to the Insert tab, under Connections, and choose Server --> New ArcGIS Server:

For the server URL, put in https://geodata.hawaii.gov/arcgis/rest/services and then hit OK.

After that, you can add data straight from the State's server.

Go to Add Data --> Data --> Servers and choose the Hawaii server.

To find the dataset I was using, it's in SoH_Imagery --> Hawaii_DTM_elevation --> Maui_DTM.

 

Feel free to browse through the other datasets to see if they might work better.

That was the ticket, the "add Hawaii server" did the trick. Now I can get proper contours. Thank you so much, you have no idea how many hours I have wasted trying to figure this out.

Haha, no problem! This was not the most straight forward situation so it took a little bit of digging. Those are much better looking contour lines!
