What you’ll build
Guess where the summit and the deepest dip are, then fly a grid over your claim, landing at each point to drop a flag and note its height. Join equal heights into contour lines to reveal the land's secret shape and pick the perfect spot for downtown.
Finish line: Your claim is dotted with height flags and you have a contour map with a named hill, valley and downtown spot.
Bonus challenge: Build a mini 3D model of your land in a corner: one block column per flag, scaled down. Does it match your map?
You’ll need
- Fence posts
- A block for each flag top
- Coloured pencils
You choose
- I predict the summit is near
- My survey flag (block on a fence post)
- My contour gap (2, 5 or 10 m)
Stuck?
- Heights jumping around? Read your Y the same way every time, standing on the ground, never mid-flight.
- Lost your grid? Start from your claim corners and count 20 blocks along X or Z between flags.
- Contour lines crossing? Lines for different heights never cross, so recheck the numbers near that spot.
