[11.1] - Back to the park

The following is a map showing contour lines for a region of Orangerock National Park.

Estimate (numerically) the average elevation by sampling the elevation at the mid-point of each sub-rectangle.

Going across the the rows, I estimated the heights of points in the middle of each box and added them together, then divided by 16 to get... $$\begineq \text{average height}=&(50+92+121+109\\ &+83+101+95+62\\ &+76+94+89+58\\ &+31+70+94+90)/16\\ =& 1,315/16=\color{blue}82.2 \endeq $$
