On "most" military maps (from the 20th century), deserts were depicted as FLAT areas with NO LINES on them, and/or with some shallow "S" shaped lines with wide spaces in between. The closer the lines to each other indicated steeper terrain. If the lines (on the map) were very close to each other, almost touching one another, then that indicated a very steep terrain feature...such as a cliff. Keep in mind, that (20th century military maps) were AERIAL views.
