Digital Elevation Model

http://www.waialeale.org/graphics/kauaioverview.jpg

A Digital Elevation Model, or DEM, is a type of USGS digital map product. The above DEM was colored and rotated in order to 'bring our relief,' of the Hawaiian island Kauai. This particular map was used, more specifically, to show the elevation and topography of the island in order to find a route to hike up to the Waialeale Plateau.
