Pamir Mountain Valleys
This map represents the terrain of the many valleys of the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan and Kirgizstan.
These highlands have few areas that can easily be built upon, but the mountains hide vast coal reserves, and the lower valleys have considerable oil. The mountain villages and towns are connected by winding dirt tracks, but the main valley sits upon the ancient silk road, and can be crossed from east to west more easily. You have trade connections with the Uzbek and Turkmen SSRs, as well as the non-soviet nations of Pakistan and China.
