I am using the ArcGIS web map and need to add a contour map (level curves for Uruguay) to perform a topography analysis. I have seen that in the ArcGIS Online search engine there are some maps of this style for some countries or regions.

How can I make one for Uruguay?

Should I do it in the desktop version and then upload it to ArcGIS Web Map or I can do it online directly?

You can download the SRTM data, using earth explorer platform (https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/). You will have a 1-arc-second resolution DSM for Uruguay and can work this around with ArcGis or Qgis to generate de level curves that you need.

I recommend you to use a 50m resolution on contour level, that's a good proven threshold for SRTM data quality.

If Uruguay has any DSM data with better quality, you could use to.
