For topography and hill shades, either:
- www.maps-for-free.com (like in File:North Rhine-Westphalia Topography 02.png by TUBS) (may be substituted by SRTM data in later versions) or
- NGA's and NASA's SRTM3 data provided to me by user Alexrk2, much like applied in File:North Rhine-Westphalia relief location map.jpg
Alexrk2 also helped me with corrections of the projection of my maps thus becoming a equirectangular projection maps. Alexrk2 provided me this help via email but the application of his/her corrections werde first made public by uploading the file File:North Rhine-Westphalia relief location map.jpg
