How to read this map
The Ishikari River is about 268 km (167 mi) long and drains a basin of about 14,200 km² (5,480 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 481 m³/s (17,000 cu ft/s). It rises at Mount Ishikari and flows into the Ishikari Bay. Tributaries include Toyohira River, Chitose River, Yūbari River, Osarappe River, Naibetsu River, Tōbetsu River, Chūbetsu River and Ushubetsu River.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Ishikari River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Sapporo, Asahikawa, Tomakomai, Obihiro, Muroran and Otaru.
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 Ishikari 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 Ishikari River is, not a surveyed boundary.
