How to read this map

The Nederrijn River is about 50 km (31 mi) long. It flows into Lek. Tributaries include Oude Rijn and Pannerdens Kanaal.

The highlighted blue line is the course of the Nederrijn River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Brussels, Essen, The Hague, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp.

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 Nederrijn 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 Nederrijn River is, not a surveyed boundary.
