How to read this map
The highest point of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas is Volcán Tajumulco, 4,203 m (13,789 ft) above sea level.
The dashed outline marks the Sierra Madre de Chiapas as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Quetzaltenango, Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Villahermosa, Coatzacoalcos, Tapachula, Minatitlán, Ciudad del Carmen and El Progreso. Labeled countries: Guatemala.
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 Sierra Madre de Chiapas 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 Sierra Madre de Chiapas are, not a surveyed boundary.
