[Open.ogc] OSM WOC Topograph(Terrain) Layer

[Micah Wengren]

There is something called OpenTopoMap, but unfortunately the OSM 
streets/POI overlays are only available in Europe.  This page shows 
previews for a whole collection of OSM-based tile services, OpenTopoMap 
is on the top of the list on the right: 
http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/.

Pretty good topographic coverage though, I wonder where they got their 
dataset from, might be a good starting point.
