How to read this map
The Santa Cruz River is about 385 km (239 mi) long and drains a basin of about 28,100 km² (10,800 sq mi). It rises at Argentino Lake and flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Santa Cruz 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.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the course of the Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz River is, not a surveyed boundary.
