Do you mean something like this?

Here I've used a Falloff map to separate the flat from the inclined parts of the embankment and an Arnold Curvature shader to emphasize the edges.

To highlight terrain edges or emphasize corners in your rendering with Arnold, you can use a combination of procedural shaders and utility nodes.
