The value of the index contour line at point A is

The symbol at point B indicates a
area.

The elevation of point B is
feet.

Answer 1

To answer the questions using the information provided:

1. **The value of the index contour line at point A is** **7000** **feet.**
- Index contour lines are labeled with their elevation, and since Point A is on a contour line labeled 7000, that is its value.

2. **The symbol at point B indicates a** **depressed/low-lying** **area.**
- The symbol for point B, located on the 6800 contour line, suggests it is describing a lower elevation area compared to A, which would typically be an area lower than the surrounding contours.

3. **The elevation of point B is** **6800** **feet.**
- Since point B is located on a contour line labeled as 6800, that is the elevation at that point.

So, the answers in order are:
- 7000 feet
- depressed/low-lying area
- 6800 feet.
