  1. Topographic Gradients

  2. Gradient The gradient is the change in field value divided by the change in distance.

  3. Gradient Between 3641 ft. & 3659 ft. Step 1: Identify the field values. Between 1201 ft. & 1239 ft.

  4. Gradient 3647 ft. Between 3641 ft. & 3659 ft. Step 1: Identify the field values. 1209 ft. Between 1201 ft. & 1239 ft. The values can be inferred from the contour lines.

  5. Gradient 0 0.5 0.5 Mile Step 2: Determine the distance using the map scale.

  6. Gradient 0 0.5 0.5 Mile Step 2: Determine the distance using the map scale. 0.5 Miles
