In contrast to traditional 2D maps, where the relief is represented indirectly, the relief maps are intended for direct representation of the relief. Such way of relief presentation is simpler and easier to understand for ordinary users. In the article, the preparation of the editorial plan is described and thepossible methods of elaboration of relief maps are presented. The method described has been used for elaboration of an insert of a relief map of the Pomurje region at horizontal scale 1 : 30,000 and at vertical scale 1 : 15,000.
