Everything is engraved.
The Italic is in the style of Kursivschrift Liegend by German Cartographic Design
Minor differences.
Suggested font: Kursivschrift Liegend

The engraved shading treatment for_COMPARATIVE HEIGHTS_ is in the style of Barclay Open, which is similar but not a match.
Suggested font: Barclay Open

Academy Engraved is another substitute for_COMPARATIVE HEIGHTS_
Also sold under the name Cathedral Open http://myfonts.us/td-EmyexW
Suggested font: Academy Engraved

FF Acanthus Open is another substitute for_COMPARATIVE HEIGHTS_
Nice, but expensive.
Suggested font: Acanthus Open

Caslon Open Face is yet another substitute for_COMPARATIVE HEIGHTS_
Perhaps the closest of my suggestions.
Suggested font: Caslon Open Face

For the engraved shadow effect in _REFERENCE_ Sutro Shaded Primary would work, except that it is too heavy.
Suggested font: Sutro Shaded Primary

Hoosier Daddy is another substitute for _REFERENCE_. Also too heavy.
Suggested font: Hoosier Daddy
