==Geography and ethnography== [[File:Cheile Turzii-(42).JPG|thumb|right|[[Turda Gorges]] seen from the west end, in [[Cluj county]]]] [[File:RO AB Geogel wooden church 1 55.jpg|thumb|Geogel, Romanian Orthodox wooden church]] [[File:Romania_general_map-en.png|thumb|Geographical map of Romania]] The [[Transylvanian Plateau]], {{convert|300|to(-)|500|m|ft|abbr=off}} high, is drained by the [[Mureș River|Mureș]], [[Someș River|Someș]], [[Criș River|Criș]], and [[Olt River|Olt]] rivers, as well as other tributaries of the [[Danube]]. This core of historical Transylvania roughly corresponds with nine counties of modern Romania. The plateau is almost entirely surrounded by the [[Eastern Carpathians|Eastern]], [[Southern Carpathians|Southern]] and [[Apuseni Mountains|Romanian Western]] branches of the [[Carpathian Mountains]]. The area includes the [[Transylvanian Plain]]. Other areas to the west and north are widely considered part of Transylvania; in common reference, the Western border of Transylvania has come to be identified with the present Romanian-Hungarian border, settled in the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, although geographically the two are not identical. Ethnographic areas: * Transylvania proper: ** [[Mărginimea Sibiului]] (Szeben-hegyalja) ** [[Transylvanian Plain]] (Câmpia Transilvaniei/Mezőség) ** [[Țara Bârsei]] (Burzenland/Barcaság) ** {{Interlanguage link|Țara Buzaielor|ro}} ** [[Țara Călatei]] (Kalotaszeg) ** [[Țara Chioarului]] (Kővár) ** [[Țara Făgărașului]] (Fogaras) ** [[Țara Hațegului]] (Hátszeg) ** {{ill|Țara Hălmagiului|ro}} ** {{ill|Țara Mocanilor|ro}} ** [[Țara Moților]] ** [[Nösnerland|Țara Năsăudului]] (Nösnerland/Naszód vidéke) ** {{Interlanguage link|Țara Silvaniei|ro}} ** {{Interlanguage link|Ținutul Pădurenilor|ro}} ** [[Székely Land|Ținutul Secuiesc]] (Székelyföld/Székely Land) * [[Banat]] ** {{ill|Țara Almăjului|ro}} * [[Crișana]] ** {{ill|Țara Zarandului|ro}} * [[Maramureș]] ** [[Țara Oașului]] (Avasság) ** {{ill|Țara Lăpușului|ro}} (Lápos-vidék)
