Greetings Sam,

I don't think it's possible to do so at the moment. However, if the model you 
are using took into account topography and masked out the datapoints 'under 
ground' using a missing value, then you should be able to see the topography as 
the model sees it (which would still be quite different than USGS topography 
data).

Cheers,

Sean
