The mountain is the highest peak of the Nimba Range (the "Guinean Backbone"), which straddles the borders between the two countries and Liberia. The nearest major settlement are the town Yekepa to the west in Liberia and Bossou in Guinea.〔Colombant, Nico (30 January 2008).("Villagers Resist Environmentalists Around Guinea's Mount Nimba" ).
