How to read this map
The Semliki River is about 230 km (143 mi) long. It rises at Lake Edward and flows into Lake Albert. It flows through or along the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Semliki River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Kigali, Bukavu, Beni, Butembo, Arua, Nyanza, Entebbe and Gulu.
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 Semliki 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 Semliki River is, not a surveyed boundary.
