 Contour Interval (CI) – It is the vertical distance between any two
consecutive contours.
Suppose a map includes contour lines of 100m, 98m ,96 m and so
on .The contour interval here is 2 m.
This interval depends upon
(i) the nature of the ground (i.e. whether flat or sleep).

(i) the nature of the ground (i.e. whether flat or sleep).
(ii) the scale of the map
(iii) the purpose of the survey.
Contour intervals for flat country are generally small, e g. 0.25 m,
0.5 m, 0.75m. etc. Contour interval for a steep slope in a hilly area
is generally greater. e.g. 5m. 10 m, 15 m etc.
It should be remembered that the contour interval for a particular
map is Constant.

Methods of Contouring (PU 09,10,11,13,14)
The location of a point in topographic survey involves both
horizontal as well as vertical control. The method of contouring
depends upon the instruments used.
The method may be divided into two classes.
 The Direct Method
 The indirect method
In the direct method
• The contour to be plotted is actually traced on the ground. Only
those points are surveyed which happen to be plotted and
• The contour to be plotted is actually traced on the ground. Only
those points are surveyed which happen to be plotted and
contours are drawn through them.
• The method is slow and tedious and is applicable for small areas
and where great accuracy is required.(as a lot of time is wasted
in searching points of the same elevation for a contour).
In the indirect method
some suitable guide points are selected and surveyed(the guide
points should not necessarily be on the contours but serve as
basis for interpolation of contours)
Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant
Professor, nec
41
Direct Method
Each contour is located by determining the positions of a series of points through which
the contour passes .
Vertical Control:
• The points on the contours are traced either with the help of a level and staff or hand
level.
• The level is set at a point to command as much area as is possible and is leveled.
• The staff is kept on BM and the height of the instrument is determined. If BM is not
nearby, fly leveling may be carried out to establish a temporary bench mark in that area.
• Having known the height of the instrument, the staff reading is calculated so that the
Having known the height of the instrument, the staff reading is calculated so that the
bottom of the staff is at an elevation equal to the value of contour to be plotted.
Eg. If height of instrument is 800.250 meters the staff reading to plot a contour of 800 meters
will be 0.250 meters. Taking one contour at a time( for 800m contour) the staff man is
directed to keep the staff on those points where staff reading of 0.250 m is obtained
every time.
Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant
Professor, nec
42
Direct method
b) Horizontal Control:
• After having located the points for various contours vertically
they are to be surveyed with a suitable control system for
horizontally located.
• For this, the location of points are traced by the method of plane
tabling, chain survey or theodolite.
• Then the contour are drawn through these points.
• For accurate contouring sufficient number of the points at close
interval are required.
• The plotted positions of the consecutive points of any contour are
simply joined by straight lines to form contour lines

Procedure:
•To start with, a temporary B.M is established near the area to be
surveyed with reference to a permanent B.M by fly leveling.
•The level is then set up in such a position so that the maximum
number of points can be commanded from the instrument station.
• The height of instrument is determined by taking a back sight
on the B.M. and adding it to the R.L. of bench mark.
on the B.M. and adding it to the R.L. of bench mark.
•The staff reading required to fix points on the various contours is
determined by subtracting the R.L. of each of the contours from
the height of instrument.

Example:
• If the height of instrument is 82.48m., then the staff readings
required to locate 82, 81 and 80m contours are 0.48, 1.48 and
2.48m respectively.
•The staff is held on an approximate position of point and then
moved up and down the slope until the desired reading is obtained.
The point is marked with a peg.

•Similarly various other points are marked on each contour.
•The line joining all these points give the required contour. It
may be noted that one contour is located at a time.
• Having fixed the contours within the range of the instrument,
the level is shifted and set up in a new position.
The new height of instrument and the
required staff readings are then calculated in a
similar manner and the process repeated till all
the contours are located. The positions of the
contour points are located suitably either
simultaneous with levelling or afterwards. A
Procedure (Contd…..)
simultaneous with levelling or afterwards. A
theodolite , a compass or a plane table
traversing is usually adopted for locating these
points. The points are then plotted on the plan

•In this method some suitable guide points are selected and their
elevations are found. These point may form well shaped geometrical
figures.
•The location of such points are plotted by plane tabling and contours
are drawn by interpolation. These guide points do not fall except by
coincidence, on the contours to be located.
• While interpolating, it is considered that the slope between any two
adjacent guide points is uniform.

•Several representative points representing hills, depressions, ridge and
valley lines and the changes in the slope all over the area to be
contoured are also observed.
• Other Guide points are then plotted on the plan and the contours

Diff (A-B)=2.09m
reduced level of A and B are 25.45m and 27.54m respectively .Taking
the contour interval as 1m, 26 and 27 m contours may be interpolated
in between A and B. The difference of level between A and B is
2.09m.the difference of level between A and 26m,and A and 27m is
0.55mand 1.55 m respectively.
Therefore the horizontal distance between A and 26 m contour
=0.55/2.09 x 30m ((Diff of A  26m / Diff of A  B)* Dist.AB)) and
Between A and 27 m contour =1.55/2.09 x 30m.
These distances are then plotted to scale on the map.

INTERPOLATION OF CONTOURS
By Graphical method:
• If the bottom line represents an
elevation of 50m. Then the successive
thick lines will represent 55m, 60m and
65m, etc.
•Place the tracing cloth so that the
point A is on the third line from the
bottom, now move the tracing cloth
bottom, now move the tracing cloth
until B is on the fifth line above the
60m thick line.
• The intersection of the thick lines 1
and 2 representing elevations of 55m
and 60 m and the line AB give the
position of the points on the 55m and
60m contours respectively and are
pricked through on the plan with a pin.

iii) By Estimation:
– The position of the contour points between ground
- points are estimated roughly and the contours
are then drawn through these points.
INTERPOLATION OF CONTOURS
– This is a rough method and is suitable for small
scale maps.
• Accuracy of work depends upon the skill and
experience of surveyor.

DRAWING THE CONTOUR LINES
Contour lines are drawn as fine and smooth free hand
curved lines. Sometimes they are represented by broken
lines .They are inked in either in black or brown colour. A
drawing pen gives a better line than a writing pen and
French curves should be used as much as possible .Every
fifth contour is made thicker than the rest.
The elevation of contours must be written in a uniform
The elevation of contours must be written in a uniform
manner, either on the higher side or in a gap left in the line
.When the contour lines are very long, their elevations are
written at two or three places along the contour .In the case
of small scale maps, it is sufficient to figure every fifth
contour.

Contour Gradient
• Contour gradient is a line lying throughout on the surface of
the ground and preserving a constant inclination to the
horizontal
• The inclination of a contour gradient is generally given
either as rising gradient or falling gradient, and is expressed
as ratio of the vertical height to a specified horizontal
distance. If the inclination of a contour gradient is 1 in 50, it
means that for every 50 m horizontal distance, there is a
rise (or fall) of 1 m.
rise (or fall) of 1 m.
• To locate the contour gradient in the field a clinometer, a
theodolite or a level may be used.
• The inclination of a contour gradient is generally given
either as rising or falling gradient and is expressed as ratio
of the vertical height to a specified horizontal distance.

  • 41. Methods of Contouring (PU 09,10,11,13,14) The location of a point in topographic survey involves both horizontal as well as vertical control. The method of contouring depends upon the instruments used. The method may be divided into two classes. The Direct Method The indirect method In the direct method • The contour to be plotted is actually traced on the ground. Only those points are surveyed which happen to be plotted and • The contour to be plotted is actually traced on the ground. Only those points are surveyed which happen to be plotted and contours are drawn through them. • The method is slow and tedious and is applicable for small areas and where great accuracy is required.(as a lot of time is wasted in searching points of the same elevation for a contour). In the indirect method some suitable guide points are selected and surveyed(the guide points should not necessarily be on the contours but serve as basis for interpolation of contours) Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant Professor, nec 41
  • 42. Direct Method Each contour is located by determining the positions of a series of points through which the contour passes . Vertical Control: • The points on the contours are traced either with the help of a level and staff or hand level. • The level is set at a point to command as much area as is possible and is leveled. • The staff is kept on BM and the height of the instrument is determined. If BM is not nearby, fly leveling may be carried out to establish a temporary bench mark in that area. • Having known the height of the instrument, the staff reading is calculated so that the Having known the height of the instrument, the staff reading is calculated so that the bottom of the staff is at an elevation equal to the value of contour to be plotted. Eg. If height of instrument is 800.250 meters the staff reading to plot a contour of 800 meters will be 0.250 meters. Taking one contour at a time( for 800m contour) the staff man is directed to keep the staff on those points where staff reading of 0.250 m is obtained every time. Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant Professor, nec 42
  • 43. Direct method b) Horizontal Control: • After having located the points for various contours vertically they are to be surveyed with a suitable control system for horizontally located. • For this, the location of points are traced by the method of plane tabling, chain survey or theodolite. • Then the contour are drawn through these points. • For accurate contouring sufficient number of the points at close interval are required. • The plotted positions of the consecutive points of any contour are simply joined by straight lines to form contour lines Er.

Procedure: •To start with, a temporary B.M is established near the area to be surveyed with reference to a permanent B.M by fly leveling. •The level is then set up in such a position so that the maximum number of points can be commanded from the instrument station. • The height of instrument is determined by taking a back sight on the B.M. and adding it to the R.L. of bench mark. on the B.M. and adding it to the R.L. of bench mark. •The staff reading required to fix points on the various contours is determined by subtracting the R.L. of each of the contours from the height of instrument. 24 CONTOURING CONTOURING Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant Professor, nec 45
  • 46. Example: • If the height of instrument is 82.48m., then the staff readings required to locate 82, 81 and 80m contours are 0.48, 1.48 and 2.48m respectively. •The staff is held on an approximate position of point and then moved up and down the slope until the desired reading is obtained. The point is marked with a peg. 25 CONTOURING CONTOURING Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant Professor, nec 46 •Similarly various other points are marked on each contour. •The line joining all these points give the required contour. It may be noted that one contour is located at a time. • Having fixed the contours within the range of the instrument, the level is shifted and set up in a new position.
  • 47. The new height of instrument and the required staff readings are then calculated in a similar manner and the process repeated till all the contours are located. The positions of the contour points are located suitably either simultaneous with levelling or afterwards. A Procedure (Contd…..) simultaneous with levelling or afterwards. A theodolite , a compass or a plane table traversing is usually adopted for locating these points. The points are then plotted on the plan and the contours drawn by joining the corresponding points by dotted curved lines. 27 CONTOURING CONTOURING Er. Pramesh Hada, Assistant Professor, nec 47
  • 48. 2. Indirect Method: •In this method some suitable guide points are selected and their elevations are found. These point may form well shaped geometrical figures. •The location of such points are plotted by plane tabling and contours are drawn by interpolation. These guide points do not fall except by coincidence, on the contours to be located. • While interpolating, it is considered that the slope between any two adjacent guide points is uniform. adjacent guide points is uniform. •Several representative points representing hills, depressions, ridge and valley lines and the changes in the slope all over the area to be contoured are also observed. • Other Guide points are then plotted on the plan and the contours drawn by interpolation. •This method of contouring is also known as contouring by spot levels. 30 CONTOURING CONTOURING Er.

The elevation of contours must be written in a uniform The elevation of contours must be written in a uniform manner, either on the higher side or in a gap left in the line .When the contour lines are very long, their elevations are written at two or three places along the contour .In the case of small scale maps, it is sufficient to figure every fifth contour. 45 CONTOURING CONTOURING Er.

  • 67. Contour Gradient • Contour gradient is a line lying throughout on the surface of the ground and preserving a constant inclination to the horizontal • The inclination of a contour gradient is generally given either as rising gradient or falling gradient, and is expressed as ratio of the vertical height to a specified horizontal distance. If the inclination of a contour gradient is 1 in 50, it means that for every 50 m horizontal distance, there is a rise (or fall) of 1 m. rise (or fall) of 1 m. • To locate the contour gradient in the field a clinometer, a theodolite or a level may be used. • The inclination of a contour gradient is generally given either as rising or falling gradient and is expressed as ratio of the vertical height to a specified horizontal distance.
