The elevation of the hypsometric areas is defined as the minimum elevation of all the bounding contours (excluding auxiliary contours).

Areas enclosed by one depression contour will carry for elevation the value of the depression contour minus the contour interval.

Where hypsometric areas meet the edge of the working database the elevations must match those of any adjoining areas which have working data available.

Hypsometric Area are bounded by features in the Contours feature class.

Adjacent Hypsometric Areas must have their elevations differing by only one contour interval.  

Waterbodies do not form voids in Hypsometric areas.

All non-sea areas must be covered by Hypsometric Areas. This feature will not be shown in sea areas.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 0 for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.  

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 0.  

Contours of different height must not touch each other. No contour can cross itself or another contour.

The Standard contour interval is 20m (1:100 000) and 50m (1:250 000).

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

No gaps should appear in contours.

Spot Elevations must not contradict contours.  

Shoreline, Junctions & other features forming the coastline will be cloned as 0 (zero) elevation contours. The 0 contour will have a classification of Standard contour except where there are coastal cliffs in which case it will have a classification of connector discontinuity or where it is cloned from a junction in which case it will have a classification of connector standard.

56 - Standard

0 - 0 elevation contour when cloned from Shoreline, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.
 

The Standard contour interval is 20m (1:100 000) and 50m (1:250 000).

Contours will carry the Symbol code for Index contours at every 100m (1:100 000) & 250m (1:250 000) taken from elevation 0.

Contours of different height must not touch each other. No contour can cross itself or another contour.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

No gaps should appear in contours.

Spot Elevations must not contradict contours.  

Shoreline, Junctions & other features forming the coastline will be cloned as 0 (zero) elevation contours. The 0 contour will have a classification of Standard contour except where there are coastal cliffs in which case it will have a classification of connector discontinuity or where it is cloned from a junction in which case it will have a classification of connector standard.

Survey Marks (feature dataset) must not contradict contours.  

Contours (feature class) cannot fall over Sea, Perennial lake, Flood Irrigation Storage and Town Rural Storage polygons.

Contours will be masked by Built Up Area.
