Is there a way to get the aspect ratio as output from a plot() call or
something similar in the base graphics system? I would like to note
vertical exaggeration on an elevation profile.

Sundar,
Perhaps this will work for you?
plot(1:10)
w - par(pin)[1]/diff(par(usr)[1:2])
h - par(pin)[2]/diff(par(usr)[3:4])
asp - w/h
Thank you for your help. For vertical exaggeration I will make a slight
change to make it more intuitive (for me):
w - diff(par(usr)[1:2]) / par(pin)[1]
