How to read this map
The Coco River is about 780 km (485 mi) long and drains a basin of about 24,800 km² (9,560 sq mi). It rises at Río Comalí and flows into the Caribbean Sea. It flows through or along Nicaragua and Honduras. Tributaries include Río Inalí, Río Ciudad Antigua, Río El Cuá, Río Salamají and Río Mozonte.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Coco River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, San Miguel, La Ceiba, Chinandega, Matagalpa, Estelí and Choluteca. Labeled countries: Nicaragua and Honduras.
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 Coco 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 Coco River is, not a surveyed boundary.
