Figure 13: Hypsometric «multiscale»
Selected contour interval is the same as in hypsometric layers height for
scales smaller than 1:1 000 000, but somewhere it's supplemented by in-
termediate contour levels, that favour the representation of morphological
features not seen in standard interval. These levels are shown by dashed
line in Figure 13 . Contour interval for scales 1:1 000 000 and greater is
constant and follows those prescribed in Table 3 . Examples of map images
in scales of 1:10 000 000, 1:5 000 000 and 1:2 500 000 are shown on
Figure 14 .
