Atewa Range (dark red area) with Forest Reserve (lighter green area)

The Atewa Range Forest Reserve (also called the Atiwa-Atwaredu ranges) is in the Akyem Abuakwa region of southeastern Ghana, near the town of Kibi,[1] and south-west of the Kwahu Plateau which forms the south-west boundary[1] of Lake Volta. The range runs roughly north–south, consisting of steep-sided hills with fairly flat summits.[2] It is the last remains of the Cenozoic peneplain that once covered southern Ghana,[3] and contains ancient bauxitic soils.[4] The range is the site of an important forest reserve, and the source of three major rivers.[5]
