AcadRiver network map generator
Map the water. AcadGIS overlays river and canal networks (from OpenStreetMap or Natural Earth) and can even extract drainage streams from elevation data.
What you get
- Dense OpenStreetMap river / canal / stream networks
- Drainage extracted from a DEM (flow accumulation)
- Width weighted by stream order
- Realistic water-body and ocean styling
Frequently asked questions
How detailed are the rivers?
As detailed as OpenStreetMap — including the full delta networks for river-dense regions.
Can I derive streams from terrain?
Yes — AcadGIS runs flow accumulation on a DEM to extract a stream network.
