Altai Mountains Map
The Altai Mountains are a mountain range across Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and China, about 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long, rising to Belukha Mountain at 4,506 m (14,783 ft). This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The highest point of the Altai Mountains is Belukha Mountain, 4,506 m (14,783 ft) above sea level. The range is about 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long. It extends across Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia and China.
The dashed outline marks the Altai Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Ürümqi, Novosibirsk, Almaty, Aksu, Turpan, Shihezi, Korla and Barnaul. Labeled countries: Mongolia.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Altai Mountains come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Altai Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
