How to read this map
The Kuskokwim River is about 1,130 km (702 mi) long and drains a basin of about 124,000 km² (48,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 1,900 m³/s (67,000 cu ft/s). It rises at the East Fork Kuskokwim River and flows into the Bering Sea. Tributaries include Aniak River, Swift River, Stony River, Takotna River, Johnson River, Holitna River, Kwethluk River and Eek River.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Kuskokwim River as mapped by Natural Earth.
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 Kuskokwim 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 Kuskokwim River is, not a surveyed boundary.
