Elevation Study / land Structure <br /> The Elevation Study gives a graphic interpretation <br /> of the topography of the Northwest Study Area. <br /> Area Summary <br /> The area ranges in elevation from 510 to 550 feet. <br /> In general, the area has gently rolling, almost flat <br /> topography. <br /> A primary ridge line runs southwest to northeast <br /> across the site. The area north of this primary <br /> ridge is almost entirely flat. <br /> The most western portion of the study area rises <br /> toward Blackwood Mountain, which is outside of <br /> the study area. <br /> Branches of Booker Creek flow from the center of <br /> the study area to the southeast, while branches of <br /> Bolin Creek flow from the center of the study area <br /> to the southwest. <br /> Branches of Old Field Creek flow from both the <br /> center of the study area and from Blackwood <br /> Mountain north, eventually passing under <br /> Interstate 40 at a point that is within the study <br /> area. <br /> Page 12 <br /> Northwest Small Area Plan <br />
