The Talakmau (also known as Talamau) volcano rises above the western coastal plain of Sumatra about 70 km NW of Marapi. The andesitic-dacitic complex was constructed along a NE-SW line, with the smaller peaks of Pasaman and Bukit Nilam to the SW. Three craters are aligned along the same trend across the summit area; the NE-most and highest crater is filled by a lava dome. Reports of eruptions, including one with rumblings and "smoke" emission in 1937, are considered doubtful.
