Two rivers, the Colorado and the Rio Grande, begin in the United States and flow into or form a border with Mexico. [5] In addition, the drainage basins of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers extend into Canada, [6] [7] and the basin of the Gila River extends into Mexico. [8] Sources report hydrological quantities with varied precision.
For example, due to 18 cutoffs created between 1766 and 1885, the length of the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois, to New Orleans, Louisiana, was reduced by 351 kilometres (218 miles). [10] These points make it difficult, if not impossible, to get an accurate measurement of the length of a river.

Countries by land border length Antarctica and countries in purple are those without any land border. This list gives the number of distinct land borders of each country or territory, as well as the neighbouring countries and territories. The length of each border is included, as is the total length of each country's or territory's borders. [1]
The border starts in the west at Beninese tripoint in the Niger river, then proceeds overland in a northwards direction, before turning eastwards in a broad arc.The border then proceeds eastwards in a broadly eastwards direction, though with considerable undulation, before reaching the Komadougou Yobe river; the boundary then follows this river eastwards to the tripoint with Chad in Lake Chad.
