How to read this map
The highest point of the Pamir Mountains is Kongur Tagh, 7,649 m (25,095 ft) above sea level. The range is about 500 km (311 mi) long. It extends across Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, China, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.
The dashed outline marks the Pamir Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Yarkant County, Fergana, Kashgar City, Khujand, Osh, Kokand, Konibodom and Kunduz. Labeled countries: Tajikistan.
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 Pamir Mountains 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 Pamir Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
