ridgelike

Having raised lines

Ridgelike describes something resembling a ridge—a long, narrow, elevated formation.

The word applies to physical features that rise in a linear crest: ridgelike formations on the ocean floor, a ridgelike scar across his back.

It captures the shape rather than the scale, working equally for mountain ranges and small protrusions.
