Why Isn't The Highest Point Of Elevation On A Hill Or A Mountain Represented By A Contour Line?

Answer 1:

The highest elevation point is represented by a number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain.

Answer 2:

The highest elevation point is represented by a number...number of feet above sea level. At the very top, there is a point/peak. In order to make sense, a contour line has to represent a relative elevation all the way around the circumference of the mountain. The lines are not circles and where they are wavy, this indicates places where the mountain juts out.
