    The document describes two methods for contouring land - the direct method which is used for small, easily controlled areas, and the indirect method which uses cross sections or squares and is better for larger or harder to access areas. It then provides examples of applying the indirect cross section method by giving elevation readings across a land area at set intervals to generate a contour map.
