At 39'40' northern latitude and 71'14' eastern longitude, Tajikistan is nestled between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to the north and west, China to the east, and Afghanistan to the south. Mountains cover 93 percent of Tajikistan's surface area. The two principal ranges, the Pamir Mountains and the Alay Mountains,give rise to many glacier-fed streams and rivers, which have been used to irrigate farmlands since ancient times.Central Asia's other major mountain range, the Tian Shan, skirts northern Tajikistan.
