the type of map that shows elevation is called an elevation map. elevation maps are used for showing how high the land is.
An elevation map would be better because an elevation map measures height.

The two measurements typically used to show elevation on a map key are contour lines and spot elevations. Contour lines are lines connecting points of equal elevation, while spot elevations provide specific elevation values at certain points on the map.
No, a road map typically does not show elevation. Elevation information is usually included on a topographic map.
There are various maps that show elevation. A physical map shows elevation changes with different colors and shades. A topographic map also shows elevation but with contour lines instead of colors and shading. A thematic map may also show elevation, but elevation is usually in the background, and not important to the map itself.
