The satellite image above — from randmcnally.com/maps and attributed to MapBox and OpenStreetMap — shows just a section of Gambaga Scarp near the border between Ghana and Togo. Crops such as yams and grain are grown and livestock are raised in the area with the help of a relatively cool microclimate. The region of cliffs is generally located over 1,000 feet and 300 meters in elevation. Various cities and small towns dot the area surrounding Gambaga Scarp. They include Bolgatanga, Gambaga, Nakpanduri, Nalerigu, Namasu, and Zarantinga in Ghana and Doré and Nano in Togo.

Many geography facts are well-established and therefore do not belong to any one source, but occasionally a fact requires attribution/credit if it is unique and hard-to-find — for example, facts found from specific cultural, anthropological, geological, and scientific (etc.) research.
