Description:  Hypsometric Maps are three dimensional and used to show elevation. They can show relief in a few different ways such as: raised reliefs, contour lines, and color and shaping.  This particular map uses color to help portray the elevation of the United States.  In this case the dark and more extreme (red) the color is the higher the elevation.
