DEM Maps

Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are digitally constructed maps of ground topography. Though created through use of computers, the information needed relies on other forms of information such as aerial photography and LIDAR. There is no particular area that this map represents, but is a good example of how a digital elevation model looks. This map is also hypsometric and chloropleth, and possibly an exact replica of a LIDAR image.
