How to read this map
The highest point of the Arakan Mountains is Nat Ma Taung, 3,070 m (10,072 ft) above sea level. The range is about 400 km (249 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Arakan Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Chattogram, Yangon, Mandalay, Naypyidaw, Bago, Pathein, Monywa and Hinthada. Labeled countries: Myanmar.
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 Arakan 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 Arakan Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
