The Atlas Mountains are a mountain range across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long, rising to Jbel Toubkal at 4,167 m (13,671 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 Atlas Mountains is Jbel Toubkal, 4,167 m (13,671 ft) above sea level. The range is about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long. It extends across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
The dashed outline marks the Atlas Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Algiers, Casablanca, Lisbon, Tunis, Tripoli, Rabat, Seville and Fez. Labeled countries: Algeria, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia and Portugal.
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 Atlas 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 Atlas Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
