- Hill (Also: Mountain) – A hill has a distinct single summit and incline that rises above the surrounding area.On the map, there will be several contour “rings” leading to a peak.
- Ridge (Also: Arete or Spur) – A continuous elevated terrain with sloping sides.In the map represented by “U” or “V” shaped contour lines where the higher ground is in the wide opening.
- Valley (Also: Gully, Draw, Couloir) – Long depression in the terrain that has a narrow elevated side and a wide lower opening.A valley can be “V” or “U” shaped and often can be seen as a “negative” to a ridge.
- Saddle (Also: Col or Pass) – A low point between two distinct peaks (or hills) and forms the shape of a saddle.Saddles are represented on the map by a set of rings of a flatter area with two separate ring sets to represent the two peaks.
A super wealthy town in Bergen County, New Jersey. Saddle River rivals some of the countries wealthiest towns such as Bel Air, Greenwich and Atherton. The town's demographics are 95% white, the other 5% consists of blacks. But not black surgeons or lawyers, blacks who got lucky and make it into the pop industry.
- Spur. This is the feature of a mountain that most hikers walk on (most of the time actually) but rarely know that they are walking over the same. In fact, most roads cut through the spurs of mountains only.
- Re-Entrant. A Re-Entrant is a small valley like formation which would collect the rainwater and become the passage for it to move downhill. On the map, a Re-Entrant would appear like a U or V shape in the contour lines and pointing towards the hilltop or the top point (where the contours start converging), unlike the Spur that would again be U or V shapes sticking out of the hill.
- Pass. A mountain pass (also known as 'La' in many regions) is the feature that connects two valleys. Most people know this part but what most fail to realize is the actual presence of pass on the trail.
- Valley. Now this is the feature that most of us understand but I am still including because any trekker would mostly be hiking towards/inside a valley but just like a pass, sometimes it is difficult to recognize when you are in a valley, especially to spot the difference between a small re-entrant and a valley.

When a contour line crosses a river or stream, they take on a (U /V)-shape. When successive contour lines are far apart and evenly spaced, this is a (gentle/steep) slope or hill.
