MacDonnell Ranges Map
The MacDonnell Ranges are a mountain range in Australia, about 644 km (400 mi) long, rising to Mount Liebig at 1,524 m (5,000 ft). This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The highest point of the MacDonnell Ranges is Mount Liebig, 1,524 m (5,000 ft) above sea level. The range is about 644 km (400 mi) long.
The dashed outline marks the MacDonnell Ranges as mapped by Natural Earth. Labeled countries: Australia and Northern Territory.
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 MacDonnell Ranges 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 MacDonnell Ranges are, not a surveyed boundary.
