How to read this map
The Amur River is about 2,820 km (1,750 mi) long and drains a basin of about 1,860,000 km² (716,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 12,800 m³/s (452,000 cu ft/s). It rises at the Onon River and flows into the Sea of Okhotsk. It flows through or along Russia and China. Tributaries include Argun River, Shilka, Amazar, Oldoy, Zeya, Bureya, Bira and Tunguska.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Amur River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Daqing, Qiqihar, Jiamusi, Yichun, Hegang, Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Suihua.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the course of the Amur River come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the line is a guide to where the Amur River is, not a surveyed boundary.
