The northeasterly flowing North Saskatchewan River cuts right through the center of the city. Canadian Highway 16 (light-colored, linear feature) is the major east-west roadway that passes through the northern section of Edmonton. Numerous lakes (darker, irregular shaped features) of various sizes can also be seen throughout the landscape.
