Bonus!!!!- you will need to print out the t__opo map link below the photograph__ and label important items on the map. Read below. The Picture below is of the __**Hickory Log Creek Dam**__ in Canton, GA. It was built in order to create a special lake behind it called a __Reservoir__. The purpose of a reservoir is to store water for the population's needs, in this case the City of Canton and all the surrounding areas. Take notice that the areas behind the dam have been cleared. In order to do this, surveyors had to find the __1060 Contour Line.__ This is the expected elevation at the surface of the Reservoir, which is why everything below it needed to be cleared. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PRINT THE MAP AND DO THE FULL BONUS, AT LEAST REMEMBER THE THREE UNDERLINED TERMS ABOVE FOR BONUS QUESTIONS.


 * DONT PRINT THIS PICTURE- CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW THE PICTURE.!!!**

Here is the OFFICIAL contour map of the Hickory Log Dam pictured above,. For MORE bonus points
 * 1) PRINT THE MAP ON ONE PIECE OF PAPER
 * 2) HIGHLIGHT THE RESERVOIR/LAKE BLUE
 * 3) HIGHLIGHT THE BUFFER ZONE GREEN
 * 4) LABEL THE 1060 LINE (EITHER DRAW A PRECISE ARROW OR OUTLINE IT AND LABEL)
 * 5) LABEL WHERE THE DAM IS LOCATED.


 * ONCE YOU PRINT IT, YOU CAN ZOOM INTO THE TOPO MAP SO YOU CAN READ IT BETTER. LOOK AROUND IT AND FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENT PARTS.
