Maps - Fulford Harbour Contour @ 2 metres


The Trustees have made a number of maps available in digital format to the Fulford Study Group. The map immediately to the left is a contour map of Fulford Harbour and surrounding areas. A Contour map is sometimes called a topographic or 'Topo' map. The map shows the elevation and the shape of the terrain (i.e. hills, peaks and valleys) using contour lines accurate to two metre increments. You can enlarge this image by placing your cursor over the map and clicking the left button. This will open another window with slide bars on the side and on the bottom. By moving these bars north-south and east-west you can see the whole map as well as the legend.
