Hi Sam:

Not sure about the "normal vector" you mention, but as far as the ground
elevation you can get that off of the charts (maps) provided by the
U.S.G.S.

For some areas there are CD ROMS available with (for example all the
state of California as 7.5 min topo maps.  The one that I have is from
the National Geographic Society.  (see http://www,topo.com  for a very
nice program!  I use that program with FlightGear acting as a GPS
reciever to get the airplane (simulator)  location overlayed on the
chart.  A moving map display!!).
