Above is a Hypsometric Map, this map is used to depict land configuration and also to show relief in a selected area. By using colors and a legend it is easily viewed above which areas are elevated and which areas are not.  This map may sometimes use contour lines and three-dimensional relief to establish an understanding from the audience using the map.
