topography
In this context.. why not?
see my reference and the paragraphTopography in a narrow sense involves the recording of relief or terrain, the three-dimensional quality of the surface, and the identification of specific landforms; this is also known as geomorphometry. In modern usage, this involves generation of elevation data in digital form (DEM). It is often considered to include the graphic representation of the landform on a map by a variety of cartographic relief depiction techniques, including contour lines, hypsometric tints, and relief shading.[1][2][3]"

Laydown area
I’d like to see the sentence your term is in. But my suggestion matches your term for construction sites. See the definition here.

: Hello Deane. It's rare thatI query you and even less so whenI have a suggestion up myself, but why do you think this only refers to the laydown area and any other parts of the land in question?

I did say I wanted more context to be sure. The Swedish term should be used for much else in my experience. SAOL defines upplag as some kind of storage area.

: My first reaction was "storage area" of some kind too, but I really think this is just a much more general "layout" or something even more vague like "approach" (as in the kind of "upplägg" you have for a meeting, for instance).

Right, it seems that the Swedish writer here is misusing (abusing) the Swedish language here. But who are we too tell the locals how to speak Swedish? We look things up but 0thers ...
