How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; ids, points and accepted spellings are Natural Earth's. Six places: the three Benelux countries from north to south (the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg), Germany, France and the North Sea. That Benelux is these three, and the three names, were compared on 2026-10-01 with the Benelux Union's own site (https://www.benelux.int/en/), with the list of member states of the United Nations (https://www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states, which writes 'Netherlands (Kingdom of the)') and with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benelux, whose table gives the three capital cities as Brussels, Amsterdam and Luxembourg City. Germany and France are on the same United Nations list. The rivers of the Rivers layer (the Rhine with the Waal, the Nederrijn and the Lek, the Meuse and the Scheldt) are Natural Earth's lines; their names and the North Sea at the mouth of the delta were compared with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhine%E2%80%93Meuse%E2%80%93Scheldt_Delta, read the same day.

Rivers and waters

Rivers draws the Rhine with its branches across the Netherlands, the Meuse and the Scheldt, without names, for students to label. The large water inside the Netherlands is the IJsselmeer.

  • With Rivers on, students can mark Rotterdam and Antwerp, the two big ports of the river delta, themselves.
