geographical landmarks
Prominent natural features
Geographical landmarks are distinctive natural or human-made features that serve as points of reference in a landscape.
Mountains, rivers, monuments, and notable buildings all function as landmarks—features that help people navigate or identify a location: The Eiffel Tower is Paris's most recognizable geographical landmark.
The term emphasizes features significant enough to appear on maps or guide travelers.
