Via: @codebastler Dear cartographers, I have just linked your terrain layer in an open layers web map and recognized that the altitude of the Matterhorn (Switzerland) is not correct: Altitude in your map: 3883m Altitude in Swiss maps: 4478m Nevertheless I like your map products, especially the watercolor layer! Best regards from Switzerland Stephan Wondrak Cartographer stamen_terrain_layer

The source of that number is in the ne_10m_geography_regions_elevation_points file in Natural Earth. We need to fix the bug there first. Tracking that issue in https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/184
