Hypsometric Maps

Hypsometric maps represent three dimensional information using any type of relief that is superimposed on the surface. This can be in the form of topography, color, shape, contour lines...etc. The map shown here does not use any sort of measurable device, however the third dimension is clearly displayed in the form of relief. This map can also be classified as a topographic map.
