Which of the following is NOT a major terrain feature?

• A. Hills
• B. Draw
• C. Valleys
• D. Ridges

Answer: (B)

This question tests your ability to distinguish major terrain features from minor ones on a topographic map. Major terrain features are the large, recognizable landforms that shape navigation over longer distances: hills, ridges, valleys, and saddles. A draw, by contrast, is a small drainage channel—a minor terrain feature that doesn’t have the scale or prominence of the major landforms. Because of its smaller size and limited impact on navigation, a draw isn’t classified as a major terrain feature. So the draw is the correct choice. Hills, valleys, and ridges are all examples of major terrain features.
