How to read this map

The Ariège River is about 163 km (101 mi) long and drains a basin of about 4,140 km² (1,600 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 76 m³/s (2,680 cu ft/s). It rises at Porta and flows into Garonne. Tributaries include Hers-Vif, Vicdessos, Aïse, Lèze, Aston, Arget (Ariège), Courbière and Crieu.

The highlighted blue line is the course of the Ariège River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Toulouse, Perpignan, Agen, Tarbes and Andorra la Vella.

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 Ariège 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 Ariège River is, not a surveyed boundary.
