A relief map differs from an ordinary map in that it shows hills and valleys with shading rather than the standard contour lines you would get on an OS Map. So the purpose of them is to make it easier for people to get an idea of what the terrain is like realtively quickly. With a relief map it is much easier to visualise the terrain.
Contour lines are more specific and are generally used where more careful and accurate planning is required.
-Often referred to as raised relief maps these maps still depict hills and valleys with different colours of shading but also, as the name suggests, are 3-dimensional. They are often used for educational purposes as well as home / office decoration.
