It’s day 3 of the 12 days of GIS. Today, we’re exploring the topic of cartography with a fun activity. Download these maps and play connect-the-dots! Draw contour lines to make elevation maps of real places like Mount Taranaki n New Zealand.

Make sure to follow the rules: 

  • Connect the dots that have equal value  
  • Lines cannot touch or cross one another  
  • Lines can’t split in two or merge  
  • All lines must be closed loops or travel off the edge of the page (they can’t stop in the middle!) 

 

See finished examples and learn about contour lines from Heather Smith in this article.  

And don’t forget the GIS-themed Wordle of the day:
