Does anyone know where one can find the generic topography maps used by Wikipedia to show the location of cities?
Somehow there are thousands of Wikipedia pages that use maps in this specific style to show the location of any kind of place imaginable. They clearly are all segments taken from some original source. But I am completely unable to determine that source.

Given the staggering number of pages on which these maps appear, the source surely must be publicly accessible, but I am absolutely unable to find it. 
@yora I saw your toot and wondered the same. By looking at the summary for the file on Wikimedia, it seems to indicate that they are a mix of Natural Earth Data (I'm guessing https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/10m-raster-data/10m-cross-blend-hypso/ ?), https://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/srtm30_plus/ (based on Greenland https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greenland_edcp_relief_location_map.jpg) and some other sources for political map?
However, I'm not sure how you can process the files of n°2.
Maybe you can attempt to contact the authors of the maps on Wikipedia?
@yora the page you linked says it's generated from NACIS data using the toolset off https://www.naturalearthdata.com/
@yora It's likely you already investigated this avenue, but it seems like the file you linked was made by the uploader. Going to his English user page, which links to his German user page, I found what appears to be a tutorial for making/rendering the maps that he uploads?
The third heading (auto translate translates it into "the right tools (must have)" seems to list the original map library this person uses + other tools.
