This map displays the route of the Turkmenistan-China Gas Pipeline and identifies some of the major nodes (capital cities and managerial hubs) along the length of the pipeline. The chart in the bottom left-hand corner shows the dominant environmental landscapes through which the pipeline passes: desert, mountain, piedmont and steppe.
