This is an example of a simple contour model which is very similar to the one you have to create.
In addition to building the contours, you have to select a favorable location for a building site and plan for an access road to the selected site. Create a legend or/and a color code to identify the compass directions, different land forms, direction of water flow, bodies of water, building site, road and any other site features.
If you send me photos of your progress, I can comment and help you with the assignment. Please let me know if you have any question regarding the vignette.
