Map# 27: Digital Elevation Model (DEM)


DEMs are the most used basis for digitally produced relief maps. These maps are a digital representation of ground surface topography or various terrain. They are formed from either land surveying or, more often, remote sensing techniques. They are also called digital terrain models. Notice the level of detail that is obtained on the DEM map above.
