3D Elevation Program—Conterminous United States
July 1, 2026
Using 3D Elevation Program data, a modern illustration of the conterminous United States’ landscape showcases its elevation differences in vivid detail. This map has been consistently adjusted and colorized according to the highest and lowest elevations, accentuating differences across the conterminous United States. To further emphasize landforms, shaded relief has been added on top of the elevation colors.
