How to read this map
The Rivière Rupert River is about 763 km (474 mi) long and drains a basin of about 43,400 km² (16,800 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 900 m³/s (31,800 cu ft/s).

Tributaries include Rivière à la Marte, Rivière Nemiscau, Rivière De Maurès, Rivière Jolliet, Rivière Lemare, Rivière Natastan, Rivière Niyeutachun Kauchipischeyach and rivière Shipastouk.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Rivière Rupert River as mapped by Natural Earth.
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 Rivière Rupert 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 Rivière Rupert River is, not a surveyed boundary.
