This map shows global elevation not as scenery, but as structure. Mountains, plateaus, and plains are presented as enduring constraints and corridors that shape movement, defence, and power at the planetary scale. By stripping away political boundaries and surface detail, the map reveals where geography resists control, where it enables expansion, and why certain regions remain strategically exposed or insulated regardless of politics or technology.

Purpose

Designed as a foundational reference, this terrain layer underpins conflict, energy, and logistics analysis across Global Sitrep. It provides the physical context against which all strategic assessments must be measured.

Reference Layer

Geography is the one variable that does not change with administrations, alliances, or technology. This map serves as a constant against which the contingent can be evaluated.
