    Default

    if you already have contour lines on a map there are a few ways of converting that to a 16 bit ( or 32 bit) black and white height map

    using qgis and inkscape for a vector line contours

    this can also be done in Blender

    or a close approximation can be done in Gimp and using the "Morphological filter" run erosion and dilation passes on
    -- works fairly well but not vert accurate , just close

    and if this is a real world location
    the real height data is available

    this can be processed in Qgis to output just counter lines
    or even in gimp or photoshop
