Natural Earth, Gray Earth with Shaded Relief, Hypsography, and Flat Water 1:10m
Shapefile created using relief shading and hypsography derived from modified SRTM Plus elevation data at 1km resolution. Modifications include patching the eastern Himalayas and southern Andes with better elevation data from Viewfinder Panoramas. Daniel Huffman, University of Wisconsin, Madison, created the regionally equalized hypsography that forms the foundation of Gray Earth. Two sizes are offered: large size at 21,600 x 10,800 pixels and medium at 16,200 x 8,100.
The aim of Gray Earth is mapmakers working in black and white and those seeking a neutral terrain base map on which to overlay vibrant colors representing thematic data. Against the gray terrain, colors will pop. The terrain combines shaded relief and hypsography in even proportions and with just the right amount of contrast; Earth’s landforms are clear to see yet the terrain is light enough so as not to interfere with overprinting type and lines. Gray Earth is also highly malleable in Photoshop. A simple levels adjustment can make the terrain lighter or darker depending on your map design intent.

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add
and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).
Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more
comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor
to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so
know what you do :-)
