Hill, Ridge, Valley, Saddle, Depression, Draw, Spur and Cliff
Terrain features are identified in the same manner on all maps, regardless of the contour interval, but you must realize that a hill in the Rocky Mountains will be much bigger than one in south Florida. You must be able to recognize all the terrain features to locate a point on the ground or to navigate from one point to another.
The five major terrain features are: Hill, Ridge, Valley, Saddle, and Depression.
The three minor terrain features are: Draw, Spur and Cliff.
Terrain features can be learned using the fist or hand to show what each would look like on the ground.
