How to read this map
The Sundarbans are about 10,300 km² (3,970 sq mi) in area. It extends across India and Bangladesh.
The dashed outline marks the Sundarbans as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Kolkata, Dhaka, Howrah, Chattogram, Khulna, Asansol, Jamshedpur and Dhanbad.
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 outline of the Sundarbans come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Sundarbans are, not a surveyed boundary.
