## Figure 13: Elevation Points Grid

The diagram is a grid labeled with elevation points at various locations. The grid includes the following values:

- First Row: 125, 112, 100
- Second Row: 130, 115, 103
- Third Row: 133, 122, 110
- Fourth Row: 140, 125, 118

- Right Side Column: 78, 90, 106, 117
- Second Right Column: 84, 110, 111, 119
- Third Right Column: 98, 107, 116, 130
- Fourth Right Column: 110, 113, 123, 134

This grid helps in assessing the elevation data to create contour lines accurately. Consider each value for determining the contour intervals and ensure the contour lines reflect the changes in elevation systematically.
