On the map below locate the city of Chitral slightly south of the center of the map. Note the panhandle of land to the north. That is the infamous Wakhan Corridor of north--eastern Afghanistan. Note too, the heights of the mountains in the area (given in meters). Even the passes are higher than the tallest mountain in the continental U.S. The Wakhan corridor is notorious both for it geography, topography and climate, as well as being as being a hold-out for the most desperate of fighters.
The last map, below, will orient you to where the above map fits in on a more international basis. The Wakhan corridor can be seen in the north-eastern portion of Afghanistan.
