MONOLITH interactive 3D topographic map

An interactive, real-time 3D terrain map in the style of a vintage USGS topographic sheet, crossed with a sci-fi FUI overlay. Load real-world elevation data for anywhere on Earth, or generate procedural mountain ranges — then explore them with contour lines, hypsometric tinting, survey grids, spot elevations, clickable peak markers, radar scans, and cinematic camera tours. Live demo: https://kaolti.github.io/monolith-terrain/ - real world (DEM) — fetches elevation tiles for the chosen coordinates and rebuilds the map with true landforms. Spot elevations and peak data show real values. - detail (zoom) — z10–14: how large an area you get (z12 ≈ 28 km across, z13 ≈ 14 km) - vertical scale — relief exaggeration; real proportions read flat at map scale, so 1.5–3 is typical - procedural noise — seeded multi-octave simplex terrain with a hovering monolith and an excavated instrument basin. Every knob (octaves, warp, amplitude…) is live. MONOLITH interactive 3D topographic map is the open-source project kaolti/monolith-terrain (https://github.com/kaolti/monolith-terrain) by kaolti, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit f95b3bb47c82, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
