Pamir River Map
The Pamir River is a river through 2 countries. This map shows its course from Zorkul to the Panj River on shaded relief, with its river network, lakes, borders and major cities.
How to read this map
It rises at Zorkul and flows into the Panj River. It flows through or along Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Pamir River as mapped by Natural Earth. 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 course of the Pamir River come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the line is a guide to where the Pamir River is, not a surveyed boundary.
