DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF AND HOW TO DOWNLOAD CONTOUR DATA FROM THE STATE AND/OR LOCAL AGENCIES FOR IMPORT INTO CAD DRAWINGS.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
I'm not in Cali, so I can only advise you generally. But I'd phone the city GIS department and ask them. They may be able to share a shape (.shp) file of the contours. Most CAD can open .shp files. Be warned that such GIS data is not nearly as precise as an actual survey would be.
thanks @norman-oklahoma good tip
In Google search put: County, state gis. This should get you a link to the county data and maps.
