Without the elevations marked, these lines could just as easily be depressions in the earth, and not hills.
Edit: as several people have pointed out, rings showing decreasing elevation would have a series of marks facing inward. My bad.

Ironically I learned to read topography maps looking for dinosaur bones in West Elizabeth in 1898
