Hypsometric Map



http://www.globalmapperforum.com/forums/elevation-data/6944-does-global-mapper-support-hypsometric-tinting.html



The map below shows an area of a small mountain range or semi-mountainous with an intricate river system running through it. It uses tinting, a tilted angle of viewing, and color to show the changes in elevation between mountain peaks and the lowest points leading out to a lake or ocean as the river winds its way down. It is a prime example of a hypsometric map because, while not using lines of equal elevation, it does perfectly display height using tinting.
