How to read this map
The highest point of the Lesser Caucasus is Mount Aragats, 4,090 m (13,419 ft) above sea level. The range is about 600 km (373 mi) long. It extends across Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The dashed outline marks the Lesser Caucasus as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Tabriz, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Trabzon, Diyarbakır, Makhachkala, Erzurum and Van. Labeled countries: 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 Lesser Caucasus 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 Lesser Caucasus are, not a surveyed boundary.
