One map of the valley with layers you toggle at will: elevation tinting, hillshading, contour lines, the drainage network, slopes and the viewshed from each summit. Move the sun to watch the shadows sweep in — in winter or in summer. Everything is precomputed from the terrain model, so it switches instantly.

What the terrain is like
Canseco sits in a glacial valley of the León central mountains. Its land runs from 1,208 m on the valley floor up to 2,149 m on the ridge of Pico Huevo, whose summit (2,155 m) marks the boundary. The flyover circles that terrain in 360°; the cross-section cuts it from summit to summit, with the village at the bottom; the hypsometric curve sums up how much land lies at each elevation; and the shaded relief shows the whole of it, like a scale model.
The Canseco boundary
The boundary of Canseco carves out a parcel of mountain with its place-names: Pico Huevo and Peña Constante high up on its edge, the gorge and the Fervenciona on the water, and the village with its medieval tower, the church of San Pedro and its historic bridges.
