Hyposometric maps provide the same information that a topographic map would, however it does it through providing easy to read colors instead of contour lines. These colors correlate to a legend located somewhere on the map that gives a range of possible values for the elevation it is associated with. The map shown is one of the geographic relief in France. Though a legend is not displayed, there is clearly a difference in elevation between the lower coast line of the north and the higher elevated mountains towards the south.
