How to read this map

Its typical elevation is about 851 m (2,792 ft).

The dashed outline marks the Chapada do Araripe as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Crato, Iguatu and Picos.

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 Chapada do Araripe 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 Chapada do Araripe is, not a surveyed boundary.
