Use the KS_Lawrence_West Map to answer the following questions.
1) What is the ratio scale of this map? (2 pts)
Ans: 1:24000
2) What is the contour interval of this map? (2 pts)
Ans: 1050 1000 = 50
So it is 50ft/5 contours = 10ft/interval
3) How many feet are between index contours? (2 pts)
Ans: 1050 1000 = 50 feet
4) Give the approximate latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes, and seconds) of the
center of the pond about ½ mile immediately south of the Mobile Home Park on the
south side of Lawrence. (3 pts)
Ans: Lat 38.3

5) Give the approximate latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes, and seconds) of the
center of the Drag Strip on the west side of Lawrence. (3 pts)
Ans: Lat 38.5

6) What is the total relief from the top of Shank Hill to the stream immediately to the
east? Measure from the ‘x’ on the hill directly east to the stream (the ‘x’ is at 1,007 feet).
(2 pts)
Ans: 20units x 10feet = 200ft
(200 ft x 500)/1000 = 5km

7) Find Clinton Lake on the map. Just north of the lake is Hawk Trail. How high would
the lake level have rise to flood Hawk Trail? (1pt)
Ans: 950ft + (10ft x 5intervals) = 1000ft
8) Just south of Hawk Trail is a hill named OV. How high would the lake level have to
rise to make OV into an island? (1pt)
Ans: 3intervals x 10ft = 30 feet
9) In Google Earth, create an elevation profile that begins at Clinton Lake, cuts across
Lawrence, and ends around Midland. Screenshot the elevation profile and insert it into
this document here. (2 pts)
