West and East Malaysia (marked) |
After procrastinated for 8 "contiguous" years, I finally decided to get this done once and for all and thus closed off one chapter.
Not many articles out there show the sketches to mark the official mountain ranges; for those I could locate, I had downloaded them.
Some notes:
- The maps are provided by a mapping aficionado who does not know where he initially got them from
- Mapping is estimate i.e. by no means accurate
- Mountain range names are taken from published papers and articles (see References below)
- They are not for sale (of course)
- My sketches cannot be used for navigation or as official references (thus go back to published papers and articles - as source of truth)
- Some spelling adjusted to current day

- Nakawan Range (Banjaran Nakawan)
