ALA-GÖZ,Russian Armenia ,Asiatic Russia,Antique Map 1890s HISTORICAL MAP CHART SHOWING TERRAIN, TOPOGRAPHY, ENVIRONS FROM THE MAP OF THE RUSSIAN STAFF
The Allah-Göz, or rather Ala-Göz - Motley Mountain - faces Ararat from the opposit side of the Erivan plain. It is a volcanic mass, with a truncated cone 13,900 feet high, but with it's counterforts occupying a wider area than it's rival. It's lava streams descend south and east towards the Araxis valley - west and north towards Alexandrapol, in the Arpaocahi basin. It takes it's name from the diverse colours of it's scoriae, pumice, and obsidians, varied here and there with herbage and bright flowers, Three of the old craters now form as many small lakes, although but few streams rach the plains, the running waters generally disapearing beneath the scoriae, and feeding the Aďger-göl, a lake lying south of the mountain, and draining through the Kara-su to the Araxis.
