Hypsometric map as a special geomorphological map 38-45

Abstract

A position of the hypsometric map is discussed within the system of geomorphological mapping; it is considered to be a special geomorphological map. To obtain an authentic picture of topography on the hypsometric map, the original topographic map requires revision, and the smaller is the scale, the more essential corrections are needed. Methods of such corrections are suggested, and examples are given of color hypsometric scales for different types of topography.
