Data

The DEM is a pre-clipped and reprojected (in QGIS) GeoTiff from the awesome MERIT-Hydro global hydrologically pre-processed DEM:

It would be quite straight-forward to do the clipping and reprojecting in Rasterio, too (e.g. here).

For the scientific plot style I experimented with the HoloViews python package using a Surface3D and Scatter3D plot.

That’s all, folks :-)

The Jupyter notebook (view here) is provided in my GitHub repo.
