What Is a Relief Map?
Relief maps depict contours of landmarks and terrain, based on shape and height. They are made by cartographers, who collect geographic and demographic data and then translate that information into various map forms.
Relief maps are more advanced versions of topographic maps. Topographic maps use contour lines to connect areas of the same elevation to create two-dimensional models. What makes relief maps different than other maps is the emphasis on the three-dimensional elevation of topography, which is oftentimes exaggerated for visual effect. Shading is also used between contours for better visualization of terrain, known as shaded relief. Hypsometric tints, or color codes for elevation, employed for better visualization of relief map terrain, are also used.
