How to read this map

The Narmada River is about 1,320 km (817 mi) long and drains a basin of about 100,000 km² (38,600 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 1,220 m³/s (43,000 cu ft/s). It rises at Amarkantak and flows into the Arabian Sea. Tributaries include Tawa River.

The highlighted blue line is the course of the Narmada River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Ahmedabad, Surat, Nagpur, Indore, Vadodara, Bhopal, Nashik and Jabalpur. Labeled countries: India.

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 Narmada 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 Narmada River is, not a surveyed boundary.
