A map that shows the height of a mountain is called a topographic map or a relief map. These types of maps use contour lines to represent the elevation changes of the land and provide a visual representation of the mountain's height and terrain.
A topographical map will show contour lines and spot heights, with mountain tops marked with their height.

An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.
It tells the exact height of something in the map example the height of the mountain
the height of the mountain
Dufourspitze 4634 metres (1503 feet)
Height is shown on a map by boxes, each having a number in them, 1,2,3 and so on. they normally measure in miles, which is the easy way for starters.
A barometer or a GPS device is commonly used to measure the height of a mountain. Barometric pressure changes with altitude, so by measuring the pressure at the base and summit of a mountain, you can calculate its height. GPS devices can also provide accurate elevation readings.
To find the height of mountains and how steep a mountain is (you mghit use it when hiking).
Both will show the elevation. But a relief map, with its colouring and hatching may be easier for a novice to read. I prefer to view contour lines on a less cluttered map.
