Activity 11.1.5.

Use the topographical map of the Porcupine Mountains in Figure 11.1.19 to answer the following questions. Note that points of interest are sometimes marked with an X and have their altitude listed.

🔗

(a)

Identify the highest and lowest points you can find.

🔗

(b)

Describe how your elevation would change if you walked in a straight line from the lowest to the highest elevation points. You may want to sketch a plot of the elevation along your path.

🔗

(c)

If you walk along the Big Carp River Trail (in the top left part of Figure 11.1.19), describe which parts of the trail will have steep increases in elevation and which parts you think will be the most like level ground.
