A hypsometric map like the one shown above are essentially surface maps that show relief. There is three dimensional information communicated which can be found with these maps in the form of colors, shaping, contour lines and raised relief, and the map above has all of these qualities within it. The map above is of Quebec, and it is illustrating the different altitudes above sea level throughout the map. The different levels are shown in different colors with raised relief and color changes. The main interest of this map is to show the viewer the difference in elevation across Quebec.
