How to read this map
The Vuoksa River is about 143 km (89 mi) long and drains a basin of about 68,500 km² (26,400 sq mi). Its average discharge is about 684 m³/s (24,200 cu ft/s). It rises at Saimaa and flows into Lake Ladoga. It flows through or along Finland and Russia. Tributaries include Volchya, Vesyolaya, Dymovka, Davydovka, Pristanny, Slavyanka, Storozhevaya and Unterniskanjoki.
The highlighted blue line is the course of the Vuoksa River as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Saint Petersburg, Kolpino, Vyborg, Gatchina, Lappeenranta, Volkhov, Svetogorsk and Savonlinna.
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 Vuoksa 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 Vuoksa River is, not a surveyed boundary.
