What are the methods of Contouring?

Two methods of Contouring are:-
i) DIRECT METHOD
ii) INDIRECT METHOD

DIRECT METHOD
In direct method, the points of equal elevation on the terrain are physically located and then plotted on map. This is a very tedious process and requires more time and resources than the indirect method.
