Map of Bangladesh

Bangladesh occupies an area of  148,460 sq. km in South Asia. 

As observed on the physical map of the country above, it is mostly a low-lying country. The geography can be divided into three regions. The highly fertile Ganga-Brahmaputra delta dominates the landscape of Bangladesh. The Barind and Madhupur plateaus define the central and northwestern parts of the country while hills occur to the northeast and southeast.

Bangladesh is often referred to as a nation of rivers. It is in essence a large delta comprised of three significant rivers; the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna. The map above exhibits the courses these rivers take in the country. Subsequently, Bangladesh is also one of the most flood-prone countries in the world. When the spring snows melt in the Himalayan Mountains the rivers often overflow running south to the sea. 

The highest point in Bangladesh, Keokradong, peaks at 4,035 ft. (1,230 m), while the lowest point of the country is the Indian Ocean (0 m).
