Land and Resources

Vojvodina is situated in the southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain and includes some of the richest agricultural land in the former Yugoslavia. Major rivers are the Danube, Tisza, and Tamis. The Fruska Gora Ridge (with elevations up to 593 m/1,946 ft) fills the south-west corner of the province, and portions of the southern Carpathian Mountains occupy the south-east. There are oil and gas deposits in eastern Vojvodina, but no other important mineral resources.
