Physiographic Macroregions of China

The map of China's physiographic macroregions specifies our informed decisions as to (1) the precise location of cutpoints in river systems that extend across regional systems, (2) the macroregional affiliation of small coastal river systems, and (3) which internal drainage basins along the Inner Asian frontier should be included in China Proper. (see also, the Socioeconomic Macroregions, based on a regional systems analysis.)
