Blue Mountains Map
The Blue Mountains are a mountain range in Australia, about 96 km (60 mi) long. This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The range is about 96 km (60 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Blue Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Sydney, Wollongong, Orange, Katoomba, Maitland, Richmond, Singleton and Muswellbrook.
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, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Blue 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 Blue Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
