Answer:
It is steepest at point B and the river is flowing to the bottom right or southeast of the map.
Explanation:
We can tell that the map is steepest at point B because the lines that display altitude are closest together. Each line indicates 100 miles gained or lost to the overall altitude of the mountain. With the lines closest together, altitude is gained at the most rapid rate, and is therefore the steepest.
Additionally, we can conclude that the river is flowing southeast also because of altitude. The river runs from 1000 altitude to 500 altitude. Since rivers always run downhill, the river will run from the higher northwest point on this map to the much lower southeast point, and is therefore flowing southeast.
