Middle Taurus

The Anti-Taurus rises north of Sis, where high ridges and wooded valleys extend toward Cappadocia. The upper Sarus flows through this mountainous country, passing the site of ancient Comana. Unlike the broad Cilician plain to the south, the uplands are divided into small basins by steep ranges. Their passes connect settlements on either side of the watershed and lead toward the roads of the Anatolian interior.
