'''Mugodzhar Hills''' (Mugojar, Russian: Мугоджары, Мугоджарский хребет (Mugodzhar Range), Kazakh: '''Mughalzhar''', '''Mugalzhar''') is a series of [[mountain range]]s in [[Aktobe Region]] (Northwestern [[Kazakhstan]]) 275 miles (440 km) long. Latitude (DMS): 48° 38' 38 N Longitude (DMS): 58° 32' 47 E. They are considered to be a continuation of [[Ural Mountains]] and connected with Southern Ural by [[Guberlinskiy hillocks]] (Губерлинские горы). They form the divide between the [[Caspian Sea]] and [[Aral Sea]] basins.

The Mughodzhary proper are of length about 200 km with width up to 30 km. They start at the [[Or River]] (река Орь) as a narrow range that further splits in two: Eastern Mugodzhary and Western Mugodzhary. The highest place (657 metres) is at Eastern Mygodzhars, Mount Boktybay (Boqtybay, Боктыбай). Major rivers that run from Mughodzhary are [[Or River]], [[Emba River]] and [[Irgiz River (Kazakhstan)|Irgiz River]].

In a wider sense, Mughodzhary also include a number of other highlands and hillocks, in particular, [[Ural-Tobolsk Plateau]], and the Northern Mughodzhary, which actually connect with Guberlinskiy hillocks.
