How to read this map
The Sassandra River is about 560 km (348 mi) long and drains a basin of about 75,100 km² (29,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 541 m³/s (19,100 cu ft/s). It flows into the Gulf of Guinea. Tributaries include Lobo.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Sassandra River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Abidjan, Bouaké, Bobo Dioulasso, Daloa, Sikasso, San Pédro, Yamoussoukro and Korhogo. Labeled countries: Ivory Coast and Liberia.
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 Sassandra 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 Sassandra River is, not a surveyed boundary.
