===Fergana Valley===
The Fergana Valley, the most densely populated region in Central Asia irrigated by the [[Syr Darya]] in its upper course, spreads across the north-eastern arm of Uzbekistan and Northern Tajikistan. This long valley, which lies between two mountain ranges — the [[Kuramin Range]] in the north and the [[Turkestan Range]] in the south, reaches its lowest elevation of {{convert|320|m|ft}} at [[Khujand]] on the Syr Darya. Rivers bring rich soil deposits into the Fergana Valley from the surrounding mountains, creating a series of fertile oases that have long been prized for agriculture.<ref name="topography"/>
