Hypsography Lines connecting points of equal elevation on the surface of the earth. From the Greek word "Hypso" meaning height.

INFO A tabular DBMS used by ARC/INFO to store and manipulate feature attribute and related tables.
Hypsography - 1 ) The science or art of describing elevations of land surfaces with reference to a datum, usually sea level. 2) That part of topography dealing with relief or elevation of terrain.

Hypsography: Map data that describes the exact shape of the earth's surface, usually in the form of contour lines, digital elevation models, or color shadings.

Public Land Survey System (PLSS) (including township, range, and section information); (5) hypsography, including contours and supplemental spot elevation; (6) vegetative surface cover, including woods, scrubs, orchards, vineyards, ...
Predictive modeling is used through data acquisition like that of hydrography and hypsography to develop models along with archaeological data for better analysis.

Level 2 DEM: Level 2 DEM's are produced by converting 1:24,000-scale and 1:100,000-scale hypsography digital line graph (DLG) data to DEM format or the DEM's are generated from vector data derived from scanned raster files of USGS 1:24.
Hypsography - Contours and supplementary spot elevations
Non-vegetative features - Glacial moraine, lava, sand, and gravel
Survey control and markers - Horizontal and vertical monuments (third order or better) ...
relief shading Technique for making hypsography on a map appear three dimensional by the use of graded shadow effects. Generally, the features are shaded as though illuminated from the northwest.
Agency, 1989) and various other vector data sets were used to interpolate elevation values in the areas not covered by DTED1. The ANUDEM splining algorithm (Hutchinson, 1989), which utilizes mapped hydrography along with vector and point hypsography ...
