Hypsometric Map


http://www.reliefshading.com/colors/hypsometric.html

A Hypsometric map gives elevation by contour lines and also by shading and different tints so readers can see different areas of relief. The colors in this map illustrate the darker shades of green closer to ground level and yellow shades are of a higher elevation.
