<p dir="ltr">You could use a Dem with a shades model. Look for srtm, aster Gdem or ETOPO1 or GTOPO30. The last is probably the best choice at that scale.</p>

I wish to prepare a simple small-scale map of part of Mongolia, to
<br />illustrate the location of some study sites. To provide some background
<br />context I would like to use a raster image such as that provided by
<br />provided by, or from, satellite data. Something similar to the Natural
<br />Earth raster layers would be fine. Unfortunately, the Natural Earth data
<br />at 1:10 million is too coarse for my purposes as my map will be c. 1:1
<br />million.
<br /><br />I have tried using the free Landsat data available from USGS but I am
<br />not familiar with the myriad of possibilities available or how to turn a
<br />downloaded image into something I can use. Could anybody more
<br />knowledgeable than myself point me in the direction of any useful raster
<br />geotiff images that could fit my purpose, or to instructions of how to
<br />turn landsat images into something I can use?
<br /><br />With grateful thanks! Martino
