Here is a hypsometric map of the moon. Hypsometric maps are maps that show changes in elevation via color. The transition from color to color makes it easy to understand and visualize elevation and physical features such as hills or depressions. The above map from Google shows how varied the moons surface is and some of it's distinct features!
