Hachured map
Explanation:
Al Khatib's dictionary refers to "hachured map" as:

- Hachured map: خريطة مرقّنة لبيان طوبوغرافية السطح

- Hachure: رقْن أو ظلال خطية

- To Hachure: ظلّل بخطوط قصيرة لإظهار اختلاف السطوح

I'm not sure if خريطة مرقنة is the same as خريطة هاشورية, but here are other definitions of "hachure":

- One of the short lines used on maps to shade or to indicate slopes and their degree and direction.

- Shading consisting of multiple crossing lines.
