Page "Mindanao" Paragraph 14

In Western Mindanao, a range of complex structural mountains forms the long, hand-like Zamboanga Peninsula.

These mountains, reaching heights of only 1, 200 meters, are not as high as the other structural belts in Mindanao.

In addition, there are several places in the Zamboanga Mountains where small inter-mountain basins have been created, with some potential for future agricultural development.

The northeastern end of this range is marked by the twin peaks of the now extinct volcano, Mount Malindang, which rise splendidly behind Ozamis City to a height of 2, 425 meters.

Mount Dapia is the highest mountain in the Zamboanga Peninsula, reaching a height of 2, 617 meters ( 8, 586 ft ).

Meanwhile, Batorampon Point is the highest mountain of the southernmost end of the peninsula, reaching a height of only 1, 335 meters ( 4, 380 ft ); it is located in the boundary of Zamboanga City.
