How to read this map
The Tobol River is about 1,590 km (989 mi) long and drains a basin of about 426,000 km² (164,000 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 805 m³/s (28,400 cu ft/s). It rises at the Turgay Plateau and flows into Irtysh. It flows through or along Kazakhstan and Russia. Tributaries include Tavda, Tura, Iset, Uy, Ubagan River, Sredny Utyak, Uk and Yemurtla.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Tobol River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Tagil, Kurgan, Orsk and Kostanay.
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 Tobol 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 Tobol River is, not a surveyed boundary.
