A hypsometric map is a surface map in which three dimensional information is provided through the display of relief. Although the third dimension is displayed by relief, it can also be displayed by color and shaping, contour lines, or raised relief. This map is a topographic hypsometric map which uses relief and color to display the Goiania metropolitan area.
