Bakhuis Gebergte, range of hills, west central Suriname, running north–south, about 70 miles (110 km) in length and separating the basins of the Kabalebo and Nickerie rivers (west) from that of the Coppename River (east). The range is relatively low-lying, comprising a northward continuation of the higher Wilhelmina Gebergte, to the south; it reaches a maximum height of 3,369 feet (1,027 m).
