Phyiscal Map of Tajikistan with state boundaries, relief, major mountain ranges, rivers, Fedchenko Glacier, Fergana Valley, extreme points, etc.

Tajikistan, a landlocked Central Asian country occupies an area of 143,100 sq. km. It is the region's smallest nation. 

As observed on the physical map of Tajikistan above, almost the entire country (around 93%) is mountainous. In fact, more than half of the country is higher than 3,000 m, (9,842 ft.) in elevation.

The map also shows the two most dominant mountain ranges in the country, the Alay Range in the north and the Pamir Mountains to the southeast. 

Tajikistan's highest point is Qullai Ismoili Somoni, and peaks at 24,589 ft. (7,495 m).

The numerous mountain chains are etched with deep valleys formed by a dense maze of cold-water rivers. The eastern mountains contain many glaciers and lakes. The Fedchenko Glacier (surrounding the country's highest peaks and marked on the map) covers 700 sq. km, and is the largest non-polar glacier in the world

The lowest elevations are in the northwest, southwest, and in the Fergana Valley, which dominates Tajikistan's far northern section.

The country's extensive mountain system spawns many rivers, with the most significant being the Syr Darya, Amu Darya (called the Panj in central Tajikistan), Vakhsh (called the Surkhob in northern Tajikistan), Panj, Pamir, and Bartang.
