Māris.

Interpolating the vector contour file before rasterizing makes sense to me,
too. Never before having to convert a vector elevation contour file to a
raster file I'd no idea which v.surf.* module to apply.

The vector file has a ContourEle attribute with the elevation values.

I'm taking your advice and will use v.surf.rast.

This project has more topography data issues than any I've encountered since
I started using grass with version 4.0 (all integer, all CLI.)

Very much appreciated,

Rich
