How to read this map
The Ord River is about 650 km (404 mi) long and drains a basin of about 55,100 km² (21,300 sq mi). It flows into the Timor Sea. Tributaries include Frank River, Dunham River, Panton River, Nicholson River, Negri River, Behn River and Bow River.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Ord River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Kununurra.
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 Ord 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 Ord River is, not a surveyed boundary.
