Most of the population lives in the flat northern part of the Oblast, on the edge of the [[Ferghana Valley]]. The land gradually rises southward to the crest of the [[Alay Mountains]], drops into the [[Alay Valley]] and rises to the [[Trans-Alai]] Range which forms the border with Tajikistan. In the east, the land rises to the Ferghana Range which is roughly parallel to the Naryn border. This area is drained by the [[Kara Darya]] which flows northwest to join the [[Naryn River]] to form the [[Syr Darya]] in the Ferghana Valley.

Most of the population lives in the flat northern part of the region, on the edge of the Ferghana Valley. The land gradually rises southward to the crest of the Alay Mountains, drops into the Alay Valley and rises to the Trans-Alai Range which forms the border with Tajikistan. In the east, the land rises to the Ferghana Range, roughly parallel to the Naryn border. This area is drained by the Kara Darya which flows northwest to join the Naryn to form the Syr Darya in the Ferghana Valley.

Highway M41 goes south over the mountains from Osh to the Tajik border. At Sary-Tash a branch goes east to the Chinese border crossing at Irkeshtam. The other main road goes west through the flat country to Batken Region.
