How to quickly draw cool looking elevation maps with Python

This visualization is the result of the sweet combination of elevation maps and ridge plots.

It uses multiple horizontal lines to represent the elevation of the terrain, like tracing the peak of various latitudes, one above the other.

The result is a very cool-looking map that shapes the mountains and different altitudes in a particular area.

I’m not sure about actual applications for this visualization besides making a good-looking front page for a report or making that regional analysis PowerPoint shine. But they are some very appealing maps that deserve some attention.
