How to read this map
The Dalälven River is about 220 km (137 mi) long and drains a basin of about 29,000 km² (11,200 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 350 m³/s (12,400 cu ft/s). It flows into the Gävle Bay. Tributaries include Västerdal River, Tunaån, Österdal River, Lillälven, Dalarna and Uppboån.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Dalälven River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Oslo, Uppsala, Bærum, Västerås, Drammen, Sundsvall and Gävle.
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, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the course of the Dalälven 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 Dalälven River is, not a surveyed boundary.
