Perhaps a Surface Chart? It should be "2D" rather than 3D; that is, it
should be a plan view looking down on the data. The trick to making such
a graph elegant and informative is choosing the coloring and formatting.
Alternatively, the benefits of a surface chart and more can be achieved
using the most versatile of Excel chart types, the scatter chart. This
is a similar problem to the recent thread "Need help graphing an
equation" where the equation turned out to be the equation of a surface,
not a line:
