elevation map
Height-showing chart
An elevation map shows the height of terrain above a reference point, typically sea level.
Contour lines connect points of equal elevation, while color gradients often indicate altitude ranges—greens for lowlands, browns and whites for mountains.
Hikers use elevation maps to anticipate climbs; urban planners use them to assess flood risk and drainage.
