How to read this map
The Dniester River is about 1,350 km (840 mi) long and drains a basin of about 72,100 km² (27,800 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 310 m³/s (10,900 cu ft/s). It rises at Ukrainian Carpathians and flows into Dniester Lyman. It flows through or along Ukraine, Moldova and Transnistria. Tributaries include Hnyla Lypa, Zolota Lypa, Seret, Zbruch, Smotrych River, Stryi River, Bâc and Răut.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Dniester River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Kyiv, Odessa, Lviv, Chișinău, Mykolaiv, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia and Iași. Labeled countries: Ukraine and Romania.
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 Dniester 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 Dniester River is, not a surveyed boundary.
