DEM Digital Elevation Model

http://www.mapmart.com/Products/DigitalElevationModel.aspx

Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are types of maps that give us a idea of what the elevation of the area looks like. It helps to give a better understanding of what the lay of the land looks like, so we can better understand the rain, wind, and temperature patterns. You can see on the map above the difference between the the plains and the mountains, along with the river that runs between the mountains.
