DEM Map



A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) map is a digital representation of ground surface shape and features. DEMS are often used in geographic information systems (GIS) and are the common basis for digitally produced relief maps. This map of Oregon is a DEM relief map because it shows different elevations, shapes, and features of the land represented by the different ridges.
