We work in a lot of areas with substantial topographic relief. Topography is often the most compelling characteristic of an area and I've found a nice way to emphasize this fact. Instead of looking at a "flat" map or 3d view, what about transitioning between the two? Here's a clip from a video that we're currently working on for Colorado's Staunton State Park:
It's a slick way of focusing your attention on how mountainous the area really is.

Another Terrain Morph
An effect that I'm particularly fond of for emphasizing terrain steepness is the "terrain morph." The idea is to transition from a flat surface into the 3D topographic view through a smooth series of steps as in this post. Here's a nice example showin
