Introduction to Topographic Maps

This video provides an introduction to understanding topographic maps.

[@kenbroughton9743]

I learned more about topo maps in this 15 minute video than I ever knew before. Thank you for making confusion look so simple. God Bless you.

[@amynguyen6819]

My teacher barely explained to us anything. This video is a life saver! Thank you

[@amandabrodbeck2009]

I like how this guy has a clear voice that is also broad, he also understands it himself so others can understand too, I have never ever enjoyed a science video until now.

[@JayNic85]

@@mahaduzumaki6643 Geography is a branch of Earth Science, so OP is correct.

my whole test is about Topography and i had only understood a bit but this my man, changed everthing

you are a great teacher! in a world of miscommunication this is a breath of fresh air :)

Hi

[@soccerlove_dad]

Talking to a flat earther he mentioned Topographic maps and said they are the real maps of the earth on a flat plane. Is he right??!

[@Erica-ls7bp]

It's a gift to be able to teach people, you are very gifted sir! This was so easy to understand, so easy to retain. Thank you for sharing your gift!

[@nunes808]

Hands down the best instruction on Topographic maps on KZbin. Wish there was a download to the worksheets.

[@danielvittachi1816]

Hi Seth, Topography has been the hardest lesson for me by far. This helped me so much and am really happy that I understand this now!, great teacher! don't stop doing what you're doing! -Danny

[@xiejerry9203]

Dude, you tought this in 15 minutes and it took my teacher weeks to teach us this! And still I've learned more from this video

U should get an award For being the most understandable teacher I've ever heard 😃😃😃🌍

[@ajk2775]

I passed my test because of this 👏🏻

[@Pancakefoofoo]

@Luciano Chafino why're you being mean for no reason? I care. By reading his comment (and others) I know this is a useful enough video that helped others, so it should be helpful for me as well.

[@Pancakefoofoo]

Luciano Chafino lmao, I passed my lab because of this video too, you just must not know how to follow directions then xD

[@Pancakefoofoo]

Luciano Chafino then why are you so salty about someone passing their test? you’re just a sad, pathetic, lonely troll

[@markvanhecke2232]

Excellent! Outstanding video covering most aspects of topo map reading skills that I highly recommend. Marks Van Hecke- Road Scholars Science Olympiad National Event Supervisor 1999 and 2000

[@brianpowell5082]

Very informative and interesting lesson! If one is a "peakbagger" and wants to hit a random summit, there may be a peak with an elevation between 6,440'-6,480.' The peak, if the precise elevation is not known, would be labeled Peak 6,440'+. It will not show a label "Peak 6440'+" on the map, but it will be understood. The plus sign means that it falls between the contours of 6,440' and 6,480', so possibly 6,441' and 6,479'. I have found many fun cross-country peak hikes using topo maps!

I enjoy the short concise explanations. I had to rewind a few times but it was so worth it!

[@VickieCloud]

This video was so helpful thank you very much! I feel like I really understand this where my professor leaves us to pretty much figure it out on our own in labs without even explaining it.

[@katakatoka4072]

You explain this SOOOO much better than my science teacher, I actually think I might not fail my test!

[@starynoon8084]

[@randomtube5268]

Thanks I have a test tomorrow and I don't understand geo and honestly I understand this now thanks heaps. I have half yearly tomorrow not so good studying the night before but your a grade saver

[@usernamemykel]

Nu? Such a great presentation has never before been offered. Thank you.

[@wmluna381]

Teaching myself navigation / orienteering and this is one of the first videos I should have watched. At this point I think one needs to learn map and topo basics *1st* before diving deep into compass use. Otherwise you end up needing to reverse engineer what is being shown in compass use videos more often than not. I found that learning what the colors mean on a topo map further rounds out the knowledge base in this subject for IRL nav.

[@anna-laurahocker5570]

Our class enjoyed the heck out of this video today! We learned a lot too.

[@tocoman442]

Thanks for the detailed video sir. You literally went over in 15 minutes what it took my professor 1 hour to explain.

[@pripri7]

✨ℕ𝕠𝕥𝕖𝕤✨ - Topographic maps show elevation + shape with contour line. - Contour intervals are the difference in lines. - Index contour lines are used to keep the map simple. - Compasses point north, it wont always be up. - Closer lines = steep slope. - Further line = gentle slope. - Lines bend to form a “V” = stream/river/creek. - V points toward water source. - Rings getting smaller represent hills/mountains. - Hill/mountain peaks are just below the value of the next contour line. - Land depression areas (volcanic craters, meteor craters) are represented by hachure/hatch marks. - First hatchured line = previous contour line. - Lowest elevation is just above next contour line.
