How to read this map
The Mataura River is about 190 km (118 mi) long. It flows into the Toetoes Bay.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Mataura River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Invercargill, Queenstown and Gore.
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 Mataura 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 Mataura River is, not a surveyed boundary.
