La plus grande partiedu massif est formée par des plateaux peu accidentés, lesBaowals, appuyés sur des degrés extérieurs, ou plutôt desterrasses, qui se succèdent vers les plaines côtières. Tous cesplateaux sont comme séparés par les fleuves en fragmentsinégaux. On commence également à connaître quelques-unsde leurs contreforts. Deux de ces contreforts ont été plussouvent visités : les monts Tongue, qui séparent la Falémé dela Gambie, et les monts Tamba-Oura, jetés entre le Bafîng etla Falémé.
