How to read this map
The Katherine River is about 328 km (204 mi) long and drains a basin of about 9,570 km² (3,690 sq mi). It flows into the Daly River. Tributaries include King River.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Katherine River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Katherine.
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 Katherine 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 Katherine River is, not a surveyed boundary.
