How to read this map

It extends across Nigeria, Guinea-Bissau, Benin, Mali and Niger.

The dashed outline marks the Niger Delta as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Benin City, Port Harcourt, Aba, Warri, Enugu, Uyo, Awka and Calabar.

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 outline of the Niger Delta come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Niger Delta is, not a surveyed boundary.
