How to read this map
The Central Russian Upland is about 480,000 km² (185,000 sq mi) in area. It extends across Russia and Ukraine. Its typical elevation is about 293 m (961 ft).
The dashed outline marks the Central Russian Upland as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Moscow, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Voronezh, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih and Ryazan. Labeled countries: Ukraine.
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 Central Russian Upland 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 Central Russian Upland is, not a surveyed boundary.
