Creating environments with DEM and Ortho Imagery Help

[alexcastro1]

Hi everyone! This is, in fact, is my first post so I apologise if this is not in the right place, however, I am currently working on a project for uni to create an environment using downloaded DEM and Orthographic imagery maps of Alaska Mountains and failing that, The Teton Mountain Range in Wyoming USA. I am able to download the DEm maps with no problem using the National Map on USGS.gov but cannot get the ortho maps.

 

So my question is, does anyone else know where I might be able to find these maps or even do I need to have the ortho-imagery at all? could I create the terrain with DEM and texture myself? And info and advice is greatly appreciated and I'm using MAYA 2017 for modelling.
