Once we get the global topography data, the next step would be deciding where on the Earth we want to plot (that is, map extent). Like we said in the previous chapter :doc:`making_first_map`, we can use tools like *Google Maps* to determine the region. Here we choose longitude from -70.8 to -66.56 (negative number means W) and latitude from -17.17 to -14.42 (negative number means S), based on the distribution of elevations.
