How to read this map
The highest point of the Caucasus Mountains is Mount Elbrus, 5,642 m (18,510 ft) above sea level. The range is about 1,200 km (746 mi) long. It extends across Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The dashed outline marks the Caucasus Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Yerevan, Tbilisi, Trabzon, Krasnodar, Samsun, Makhachkala, Astrakhan and Erzurum. Labeled countries: Turkey and Azerbaijan.
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 Caucasus 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 Caucasus Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
