For small places, use the named list instead of trying to tap the outline.
Identifying a highlighted shape or a flag requires seeing the image. For map questions with named text choices, choose Find a named place.
Generalized Natural Earth geography; public domain. Coordinate projection is an equirectangular study view with standard-parallel scaling. Boundaries are not a political-status claim. Physical region, mountain, marine and archipelago polygons are approximate label-area extents. Rivers use real mapped drainage lines; lakes use mapped shorelines.
Dots help you find small places. They mark a location, not the full outline or size of a place.

Follow each river to its outlet and look for bends you recognize. Compare its position with neighboring rivers.
A tributary has its own name even when it joins another river in this quiz. Match the highlighted course, not the whole drainage basin.
