Elevation maps for mountains?

[SoulsFury]

Anyone know of where I can get maps showing how mountains elevate, I think they are called topographic maps with the circles going up as elevation goes up?

Even if you don't use software or go into as much detail, this short manual should be very helpful to you-

This site might be even more excellent-

These EN Board threads should give you some leads-

Thanks for the links guys. I'm trying to figure out how fast mountains elevate and mountains are connected to one another. I'ven ever seen a real mountain so I'm not sure how they work.

Do a Google search on Plate Tectonics and you should find what you need.

I didn't mean how fast they elevate in time, but... say you have a distance of 100 feet. How much does the elevation change from the first point of that to the last point?

The USGS has extremely detailed topographical maps.
