Hypsometric Map

This is a Hypsometric Map. The map shows different elevation levels by using bumps. It does not feel smooth like typical maps. It shows the elevation through shading and bumps. This particular map is of British Columbia and Cananada. The areas in purple show the areas of highest elevation. The shading shows how the land is elevated and set up.
