The river Bârlad and its tributaries have cut in it the northern part of the Bârlad plateau, which sometimes is called Podişul Central Moldovenesc, a term that can be easily confused with the reserved term Podişul Moldovei Centrale (in English both translate as the Central Moldavian Plateau). The northernmost hill formation (edge) is called the Iaşi Ridge (Romanian: Coasta Iaşilor). Other parts of the Bârlad Plateau:

  • Tutova Hills (Romanian: Colinele Tutovei),
  • Fălciu Hills (Romanian: Dealurile Fălciului),
  • Covurlui Plateau (Romanian: Podişul Covurlui), and
  • Elanului Depression (Romanian: Depresiunea Elanului).
