This guide explain all you need to know about contours and help you read valley and ridge contour lines, slopes and spurs on an OS Map map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll assume you&#8217;re already comfortable understanding how contours printed on a map represent the real world &#8211; if not have a quick look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/understanding-map-contour-lines-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beginner&#8217;s guide to contours<\/a> first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In brief, a contour line is drawn between points of equal height, so any single contour line will be at the same height all the way along its length. The height difference between each contour line is known as a contour interval and depends on the map being used. For most <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/maps\/paper-maps\/explorer-maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OS Maps<\/a> it is normally 10 metres, but it can be 5 metres in flatter areas. The map key will tell you the contour interval used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visualising contours and relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In remote and difficult terrain man-made features can often be rare. It\u2019s also possible a man-made feature, such as a log cabin, can be added or removed from the landscape. Since natural features don\u2019t change as quickly or easily as their man-made counterparts, being able to use them to navigate is essential.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to visualise the contours easily gives you many more points that can be <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/navigation-pinpointing-your-location\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used for triangulation<\/a>, as you can use otherwise unmarked hill crests, the line of a hillside or the drop into a valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_relief.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Being able to picture contour lines on a flat map lets you 'see' terrain\">\n        \n        <p>Being able to picture contour lines on a flat map lets you &#8216;see&#8217; terrain<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people find visualisation very easy, while others find it considerably harder, but almost everyone can do it with practice. One way to teach it is to imagine the contour lines as high tide lines left by the sea. As the water level drops it would leave a line every 10 metres on the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which way up should you read contours?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally you don&#8217;t want to actually read all the contour lines labels to understand the terrain. In crowded areas the numbers can be quite a long way from the feature you are trying to view, and trying to find and read the tiny writing can be a pain, especially in poor weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this can make it easy to read it in reverse &#8211; valleys looking like ridges, or hills like dips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One really obvious way is that streams are usually at the bottom of valleys, not on ridges, and tend to get larger as they go downslope. If you are an area near the tree line you can also easily see the difference between bare hill tops and valleys with distinctive green shading. You will also notice all the numbers on countours are aligned with the top of the number uphill &#8211; meaning you can see slope direction without having to actually read the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_streams.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"contour lines on map steep valley\">\n        \n        <p>The steams going to the reservoir and the lack of tree cover make is easy to see this is a peak on the left with a steep valley to the right. Note how the numbers point &#8216;uphill&#8217;<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some map styles make this much easier for you by using hill shading, drawing shadows to create a 3D effect. The biggest problem with hill shading is that it tends to obscure or replace the contour lines, making it harder to work out accurate height data. However, for activities where this is less critical (such as driving or road cycling) using a map with hill shading instead of contours can be a good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_hillshading.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Hill shading contour lines\">\n        \n        <p>Hill shading, such as on this OS Road map, can make visualising hills much easier but can also obscure features<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identifying features on a map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The below picture shows how contour lines can be used on maps to describe different landscapes. Even though all the lines look similar at first, they are describing very different landscape features. The closer together the contour lines, the steeper the slope of the hill. If a hill is very steep the contour lines might even merge into each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spur is a \u2018V\u2019-shaped hill that juts out. A simple way to tell a valley from a spur when looking at contour lines is to remember that if the \u2018V\u2019 points uphill it\u2019s a valley, if it points downhill it\u2019s a spur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contours bunched together on either side of lower, more evenly spaced contours show a valley or col between two areas of high ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_slopes.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Some features shown in contour lines\">\n        \n        <p>Some features shown in contour lines<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Small downward lines inside a contour circle are known as \u2018hachure marks\u2019 and signify ground that is sunken beneath sea level (not shown on this sample map).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this image you can clearly see two different types of contour lines. For this scale, bolder lines are numbered, and are every 50m of vertical height. Between each bold contour line there are lighter intermediate ones. These are generally not labelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate the height of one of these intermediate contour lines, you can either work it from the map, or check the key. In this case there are four intermediate lines between 250 and 300m, so each line represents 10m of height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Working out slopes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contour lines can also be used to work out quite precisely how steep a slope is. This is really useful in the planning stages (especially for walking or cycling) as steep slopes can have a significant effect on estimated times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/understanding-map-scales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">understand the map scale<\/a>. Now use a ruler or romer to measure the distance on the map the slope covers and calculate the real distance according to the scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, over the same distance, work out the height change by subtracting the lowest contour value from the highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have a height and distance. Divide vertical height by horizontal distance to give a slope steepness. This can be expressed in different ways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 metre climb for 10 metres travel<br>10% slope<br>1\/10<br>5.7 degrees (approx)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are a rule of thumb, anything over 15% is steep for cars and road cycling, over 25% is a tough walk in either direction. Remember that the slope will not be totally constant, so parts are likely to be far steeper than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using contour lines for navigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_navigation.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Using contour lines for navigation\">\n        \n        <p>Using contour lines for navigation<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re lost, slopes can often provide vital clues to help pinpoint your location. You will need to know which km square on the map\u2019s grid you are in. Stand facing directly down a slope, imagining you are at 90\u00ba to the contour lines of the slope. Using your compass, take a reading of the direction the hill is sloping in and make a note of the reading. This reading is known as the \u2018slope aspect\u2019.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the km square on your map, try to find a slope that faces in the same direction as the reading you\u2019ve just taken. This will help you to establish an approximate location. Taking back bearings will also help. To improve accuracy, walk to another nearby slope, take another reading and then look for this on your map. If you come across a distinguishing feature, such as a spur or valley, measure its slope aspect and look for it on the map. This will help you narrow down or even pinpoint your location. Measuring the aspect of slope is particularly useful if you are lost and find yourself in a bowl or on the end of a spur or ridge.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using a contour line to find a route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When planning your route on a map it pays to remember that the straightest line between your starting point and destination may not be the easiest, quickest or safest. Examine the map of the area you are walking in very carefully before planning a route. If you are going to be walking in mountainous or rough terrain it is often a good idea to plan a route following contour lines. This is called \u2018contouring\u2019.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contouring is used in hills or mountain areas helps you keep your pace up and make navigation easier. Once you reach a height that&#8217;s easy going (out of low-lying bogs and off windswept peaks) you walk along the slope, but keeping at the same altitude. In effect, you are following a path defined by a contour line at a fixed height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By doing this, you improve your chances of continuing with reasonably easy terrain and make it much easier to follow your position on the map, or find a feature that lets you establish your position. You also avoid energy-sapping ascents and descents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2018champs\/Blog%20imagery\/advanced_contours_guide_features.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"The Ben Nevis range from Corpach by TheTurfBurner via Geograph.org\">\n        \n        <p>The Ben Nevis range from Corpach by TheTurfBurner via Geograph.org<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What contour lines won&#8217;t show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contour lines are not the whole story and there are limitations.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vegetation:<\/strong> trees and plants can obscure smaller features, or disguise the shapes of larger ones, such as where only one side of a hill is wooded. If you are unsure, use an additional bearing to confirm your location.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Small features:<\/strong> some things can be hidden between contour lines. A 5m high cliff is too small to show up on many scales, but will effectively block your progress. Check for map markings indicating rocky outcrops.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Uneven slopes:<\/strong> while you can calculate the average slope, on the ground there can be a lot of variation, even if it is just the steep bank of a small stream. This will be most noticeable for cyclists, wheelchair users and when pushing prams. Often the only way to be aware of this in advance is to rely on notes or route descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/maps\/paper-maps\/explorer-maps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shop OS Maps  <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is part of our collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/map-reading-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free map reading guides<\/a> for National Map Reading Week, which encourages everyone to improve their map reading skills and discover new adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"MetaShare\">\n\n\t\t\t<button id=\"likeButton\" data-nonce=\"50b75bdf00\" data-postid=\"1283\" class=\"Button Button--default Button--icon likeButton\"><span class=\"likeButtonText\">Like this guide<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 20\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.4947 3.09742C8.5448 1.39335 5.66108 1.04464 3.42166 2.95804C0.999337 5.02773 0.647396 8.5134 2.56291 10.9783C3.29002 11.9139 4.70917 13.3196 6.07302 14.6069C7.45283 15.9092 8.82946 17.1399 9.50834 17.7411C9.51258 17.7449 9.51691 17.7487 9.5213 17.7526C9.58512 17.8092 9.66457 17.8796 9.74074 17.937C9.83194 18.0057 9.96286 18.0909 10.1377 18.1431C10.3701 18.2124 10.62 18.2124 10.8524 18.1431C11.0272 18.0909 11.1581 18.0057 11.2493 17.937C11.3255 17.8796 11.405 17.8092 11.4688 17.7526C11.4732 17.7487 11.4775 17.7449 11.4817 17.7411C12.1606 17.1399 13.5373 15.9092 14.9171 14.6069C16.2809 13.3196 17.7001 11.9139 18.4272 10.9783C20.3353 8.52288 20.0377 5.01032 17.5597 2.95074C15.2954 1.06872 12.4424 1.3927 10.4947 3.09742Z\" fill=\"#186571\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center MetaShareSocial\" aria-label=\"Share\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"X\" class=\"Button Button--default MetaShareSocial__button MetaShareSocial__button--x\" id=\"share-twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g transform=\"translate(-173 238)\"><path d=\"M18.9.75h3.68l-8.04,9.213L24,22.5H16.594l-5.8-7.6L4.156,22.5H.474l8.6-9.854L0,.75H7.594L12.837,7.7ZM17.61,20.291h2.039L6.486,2.843H4.3Z\" transform=\"translate(173 -237.625)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"facebook\"  class=\"Button Button--default MetaShareSocial__button MetaShareSocial__button--f\" id=\"share-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g transform=\"translate(-89 238)\"><path d=\"M14.186,24V13.2h3.279L18,8.4H14.186V6.062c0-1.236.032-2.462,1.759-2.462h1.749V.168A19.34,19.34,0,0,0,14.671,0C11.5,0,9.508,1.989,9.508,5.64V8.4H6v4.8H9.508V24Z\" transform=\"translate(89 -238)\" fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"likeCount\" class=\"likeCount\">Liked by <span id=\"likeCountValue\">62<\/span> users<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"MetaShare__hr\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"MetaShareAuthor\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MetaShareAuthor__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy Jonathan Elder\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"MetaShareAuthor__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Jonathan helps run the OS Shop and GetOutside, and in his free time can be found walking, playing computer games or, in the winter, falling off mountains with a plank of wood strapped to his feet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding contour lines and relief on a map is essential for safe planning and navigation across the varied terrain you may encounter on your outdoor adventures.
