==Geography== Haute-Marne is part of the region of [[Grand Est]] and is surrounded by the departments of [[Meuse (department)|Meuse]], [[Vosges (department)|Vosges]], [[Haute-Saône]], [[Côte-d'Or]], [[Aube]], and [[Marne (department)|Marne]]. The highest mountain is Haut-du-Sac, in the [[Langres Plateau]], in the southwest of the department, which rises to a height of {{Convert|516|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The lowest points at {{Convert|117|m|ft|abbr=on}} are found on the plains of [[Perthois]] and [[Pays du Der|Der]].<ref name=Hutchinson/> The department is named after the river [[Marne (river)|Marne]], whose source is near [[Langres]]. This river covers {{Convert|120|km|mi|abbr=on}} within the department. The department is to the east of the Parisian basin, and is characterised by a concentric sequence of cliff faces <!-- front de coté ?? --> of varying geological origin, oriented northeast–southwest. <!-- Le département tire son nom de la Marne, rivière qui prend sa source près de Langres. Cette rivière le parcourt sur plus de 120 kilomètres. Il est situé à l’est du bassin parisien et est caractérisé par une suite concentrique de fronts de côtes dont la nature géologique varie (du crétacé aux alluvions quaternaires) et orientés nord-est / sud-ouest. Le sud du département est largement occupé par le plateau de Langres, où se trouve le point culminant de la Haute-Marne (le Haut du Sec – 516 mètres). Il va ensuite en s’épanchant vers le centre pour terminer vers les plaines du Perthois et du Der, où se situent ses points les plus bas (Puellemontier – 117 mètres). --> ===Principal towns=== The most populous commune is [[Saint-Dizier]]; the prefecture [[Chaumont, Haute-Marne|Chaumont]] is the second-most populous.
