Map of Moldova

Moldova is a small Eastern European country with an area of 33,846 km2(13,068 sq mi) including the disputed territory of Transnistria. Excluding it, Moldova occupies an area of 29,683 km2(11,461 sq mi).

As observed on the physical map of Moldova, the country has a hilly terrain with a subtle slope south toward the Black Sea. Its topography is relatively rugged. However, elevations never reach beyond 430 m (1,411 ft) – which is the country’s highest point, Balanesti Hill and marked on the map by a yellow upright triangle.

These hilly regions are part of the Moldavian Plateau, a part of the Carpathian Mountains. Accounting for much of the terrain along that plateau are steep forested slopes interlaced by valleys and ravines.

To the north, Moldova’s terrain features the Bălți steppe region, a level plain with an average elevation of 500 to 650 ft (150 to 200 m). The region also has uplands. 

As observed on the map above, Moldova has a well-developed network of streams and rivers draining the land to the Black Sea. While the Dniester river forms only a small part of Moldova’s border with Ukraine. At 2 m, the Dniester River has the country’s lowest point. The Prut completely makes up the entire western border with Romania.Other important rivers of note include the Nistru and Byk.
