True, DEM are only elevation.  TruFlite gives an example of using
geo-political 
maps (like those generated off of TIGER) as a texture to drape over the
relief. 
 Or you could draw your own texture (woods at Ft. Irwin anyone?),

I've got KPT Bryce and can handle USGS data, but the fantastic detail
of the contour lines on the printed maps would be the most useful for
gaming. The USGS data is just elevation data (unless there's a new
series of data I haven't seen yet).
