can these heightmaps be used in blender to make a 3d landscape?

yes they can
just use " import image as a plane " sub divide the single plane mesh about 1024 times and use the mesh displacement

-- basically fallow any blender guide on importing a image for a displacement map

I was the one that made this wanting help to make a height map hah!! I actually have a tutorial on how to make this style.

Where is the tutorial on that style? I would like to see it myself.

I think "blended guide" might be a typo for "blender guide". There are a substantial number on Youtube.

Can you share this tutorial or if you already have can you link to that thread? I have had trouble finding a tutorial on how to make mountains as realistic looking as these. I suspect you maybe copy pasted from real satellite images?
