So is there a code or something that can show me subtle high spots in river bottom areas. Southern swamps u. Ant always go buy tall trees out there.

How can you download a cal topo map that I can post here for comment?

I have not had much luck on finding high spots unless they are 20' or taller in elevation on caltopo

I think there maybe some other sights that you can set the elevation contours to 10' in elevation....but I am not sure of other mapping sites because I typically only use caltopo

Click add new layer, then DEM shading. Change the numbers from his example to what elevation you are looking for.
