MCIC Land Navigation Practice Test

Spot elevation on a map is indicated by which symbol?

A blue dot A brown X on road junctions A red flag A green triangle

Correct Answer:

A brown X on road junctions

Explanation:

Spot elevations give you the exact height above sea level at a specific point, so you can judge terrain steepness and plan your route. On this map, that precise height is shown with a brown X placed at road junctions, typically with the numeric elevation nearby. The brown X stands out against the map’s features, letting you quickly spot elevation points as you read the terrain. This symbol is specifically for indicating elevation, while other symbols (for features like water, controls, or landmarks) serve different purposes and do not mark elevation.
