The contour interval varies because the maps on Topo! are actual high
resolution scans of the paper topo maps. In most locations the
contour interval is 10 feet. However, mountainous frequently use a
20 foot contour interval. Some topographically challenged areas
(like Florida) sometimes use a 5 foot contour interval.
