There are kajillions of ways to visualize terrain on a map. In the 1800s cartographers loved "caterpillar hills" or hachures around elevation contour lines to make a fuzzy mountain effect. Sort of a neat look, google it.
Here's a way, in ArcGIS Pro, to make a super fast cheater hack to apply a hachure-like effect to contour lines. And then for giggles, I give the contour lines a terraced gradient shadow sort of thing. You'll see what I mean.
You can download a pre-baked style file for Pro, if you want a head start: esri-styles.maps.arcgis.com/h...
Definitely check out some of Warren Davison's more respectable hachure work here: warrenrdavison.wixsite.com/ma...
And if you're feeling just insane, dig into Ken Field's terrain tools: www.arcgis.com/home/item.html...
