How to read this map
The highest point of the Cordillera de Mérida is Pico Bolívar, 4,978 m (16,332 ft) above sea level. The range is about 400 km (249 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the Cordillera de Mérida as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Caracas, Maracaibo, Valencia, Barquisimeto, Bucaramanga, Maracay, Cúcuta and Cabimas.
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 Cordillera de Mérida 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 Cordillera de Mérida is, not a surveyed boundary.
