Hypsometric Map

http://www.ocs.orst.edu/pub/maps/Precipitation/Total/States/AZ/az.gif

Hypsometric maps represent the terrain shown through shading colors. The cartographer has to choose the number of different color classes along with their limiting contour lines and the colors. Light colors are the most common and "higher is brighter" is generally true in hypsometric mapping.
