Elevation Map of North Macedonia
This North Macedonia topographic elevation map shows the landscape in 24 terraced elevation bands. The scale runs from 50 meters (164 ft) up to 2,764 meters (9,068 ft). Each band steps through the relief in sequence, so the map reads like a physical relief model. Lowlands appear in deep greens, middle elevations warm into golds and reds, and the highest terrain fades into grays and whites.
North Macedonia covers about 25,713 square kilometers (9,927 sq mi). North Macedonia shares its highest summit with Albania, and the Vardar valley cuts the country’s one low corridor to the Aegean.
Highest Point in North Macedonia
Golem Korab, at 9,068 ft (2,764 m), is the highest point in North Macedonia. On this topographic map, it anchors the pale summit end of the elevation scale.
Lowest Point in North Macedonia
The lowest point in North Macedonia is the Vardar River at the Greek border, at an elevation of 164 ft (50 m). On the relief map, this terrain fills the deep green base of the color scale.
North Macedonia Map Datasets
I prepared this relief map with elevation data from the AWS Terrain Tiles dataset. The dataset builds on the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) along with other open topographic sources, and it serves global elevation data as map tiles that anyone can access.
The map spaces its 24 elevation bands with a blend of two methods. Half of the spacing follows equal elevation steps. The other half follows equal land area, a technique known as histogram equalization.
Why blend them?
A fixed interval scale would leave flatter regions sitting in a single color, which hides their topography. On the other hand, full histogram equalization would push a quarter of the land into summit tones. The blend lets this elevation map use the entire relief palette while the legend stays honest. Each label marks the true elevation behind its band, which is why the values are not evenly spaced.
