I suspect most viewers of this message are going to be puzzled. If  
wireframe and contourplot are not doing it for you, what are the  
problems?

Surely you found references to Lattice and wireframe. The Lattice  
system has a worked example in Figure 6.11 from this page:
http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/figures/figures.html

A search for "topographic" in one of the r searching facilities is  
sure to bring multiple hits, ..... including the usual starting point:

https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/graphics/demo/graphics.R

So there must be details and issues that you have not chosen to  
disclose.
