Stream/River

Map symbol explanation: blue lines on the map are streams or rivers. If the blue line comes out of a large lake, it is often a river. If you need to cross a river, look for flat terrain. Then the river flows more calmly and is often wider. As a result it is not as deep, and it also has less current because the water flows more calmly.

Larger rivers are usually drawn slightly wider than the small streams. Here it is clear where there are streams and where there are rivers. Map: screenshot from norgeskart.no
