How to read this map
The Stikine River is about 539 km (335 mi) long and drains a basin of about 52,000 km² (20,100 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 1,580 m³/s (55,800 cu ft/s). It flows into the Pacific Ocean. It flows through or along Canada and the United States. Tributaries include Iskut River, Tuya River, Chutine River, Porcupine River, Klappan River, Choquette River, Spatsizi River and Tahltan River.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Stikine 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 Stikine 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 Stikine River is, not a surveyed boundary.
