Tip: keep the box roughly square and centered on one mountain. The grid is sampled from the live USGS 3DEP bare-earth elevation service.
Search for a location, then draw a rectangle around the terrain you want.

Exported equation is Desmos-scaled: larger horizontal dimension maps to −5 to 5, and minimum elevation is shifted to 0.
