Mountain saddles

A saddle is a topographic low point along a ridge between two higher summits or elevated areas, producing a seat-like profile in the surrounding terrain. It can connect slopes or drainage heads and may coincide with a pass, but a saddle is fundamentally a landform rather than a route or transport crossing. Its identity is relative to neighboring high ground.

Valleys

A valley is an elongated area of lower ground between hills, mountains, ridges, or plateaus, commonly organized around a river, stream, glacier, or former drainage path. Valleys may be carved by flowing water or ice, controlled by faults and folds, or shaped by combinations of erosion and deposition. The type is broader than a narrow gorge and describes the containing landform rather than only the watercourse or settlement within it.

Viewpoints

A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
