Getting DEM Digital Elevation Model Maps

Hi All,
I'm trying to get some digital elevation maps of the area round Los Angeles and Phoenix, Az.
I've tried sources from links on this page, but I can't find any good data. I keep getting redirects to old servers that say this map data is obsolete. It's driving me nuts!
(http://www.mathworks.co.uk/support/tech-notes/2100/2101.html)
I found some data from
http://store.usgs.gov/
but when trying to read it with....
----------
[Z,refvec] = usgsdem('sf_south.dem',1);
----------
i get...
----------
??? Error using ==> usgsdem>usgsdemf at 84
Ground planimetric coordinates not in arc-seconds. Try USGS24KDEM
----------
So i try...
----------
[Z,refvec] = usgs24kdem('sf_south.dem',1)
----------
i get Z and refvec output as 1393x1111 matrices,
tried this....
----------
mapshow(Z,refvec)
??? Error using ==> checkrefmat at 23
Function MAPSHOW expected its second input argument, R,
to have size [3,2].
----------
usgs24kdem must be wrong as refvec is only meant to be [3,2].
and using imagesc(Z) it's just a matrix with a gentile gradient going down the Cols (37.7505 to 37.6245) the Rows are all the same values.
Any ideas or help where I can just get some simple elevation data?? Lat Long Height
