shaded relief USA map availability

[ThomBryant]

Is there a version of the Shaded Relief map that can be downloaded instead of using the web version?

Provided by ESRI? No- with one qualification. If you are under maintenance for any of the ArcGIS Desktop applications, you should also have the ESRI Data and Maps bundle of datasets which I believe includes a shaded relief image. These used to be provided as a set of DVDs but now is a download when you download your software.

Your best non-ESRI source for this information would be the USGS:  http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/

You might also find additional data at your state or local level depending on your area of interest.
