A hypsometric map is a map giving elevations information by means of contours, shading, tinting and/or batching. Here is a hypsometric representation of the Pyrénées, a mountain chain between France and Spain. The elevations are clearly shown here thanks to contours and shading. The mountain chain is along the boarder, represented here by a red line. We can see the elevation is more important there than a bit up north.
