Western Saharan watercourses and regional ocean, found on the map

Follow the intermittent Saguia el Hamra, find the Sous River north in Morocco and explore the North Atlantic. Pan and zoom out: these geographic features continue beyond territorial borders.

3 to find, 3 a run.

One round, and 3 of 3 passes the whole map.

What the map tells you about each one

The paragraph the game shows when you find each one. Reading them first is not cheating.

Rivers2 on the map

Saguia el Hamra: The mapped channel crosses the northern interior. Flow is intermittent and the lower course can end in a lake or sand before the ocean; the source records mapped segments, not every tributary.
Sous River: This regional context river lies in Morocco. Its complete Natural Earth mapped course is retained beyond Western Sahara and the opening map.

Seas and oceans1 on the map

North Atlantic Ocean: The Natural Earth North Atlantic area continues far beyond Western Sahara to other continents. Its generalised ocean limit is a learning convention, not a maritime boundary.

How this one works

How many watercourses and regional ocean are on the map?

3. Every one of them is on the map, and a run asks 3 of them. Pass a round and the places you found in it drop out of the pool, so the next run is what you have left.

What is a round?

A run of 3 questions, and 3 right passes it. One round covers the whole map, and the counter at the top of the Western Sahara page counts the ones behind you. Passing is what banks a round's finds: miss the mark and nothing is taken off the map, so every place that round asked about is still there to be asked again. A round is always the places you have not found yet, and when fewer than five are left it is topped up with a few you have found as review, so the last round is never one or two questions. Three quarters of it passes it.

Can I start the map over?

Yes. "Reset this map" under the counter puts all 3 back in the pool and sets the rounds to zero the moment you press it, so the whole map is there to be found again from nothing. It clears this map only; the other maps of Western Sahara keep their progress.

Do I need an account?

No. The game plays in the page, and a guest's progress is kept in their own browser. Signing in carries it between devices and earns XP for a run.

What happens when I get one wrong?

The map names what you actually hit, then lights up the right answer in green and tells you something about the place. Missing one is how most of this map gets learned.
