Berbice River
The Berbice River, located in eastern Guyana, rises in the highlands of the Rupununi region. The Berbice flows northward for 370 miles (595 km) through dense forests to the coastal plain. The river's tidal limit is between 160 and 320 km from the sea. The town of New Amsterdam is situated on the river’s east bank, approximately four miles inside the river’s estuary, where it enters the Atlantic Ocean. A new bridge over the river joins New Amsterdam to Rosignol.
Rosignol
Rosignol is a small town on the west bank of the Berbice River in Guyana at {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord}}{{#coordinates:6|16|25|N|57|32|25|W|region:GY_type:city |primary |name= }}. The town is important because it has a port, the Rosignol Stelling, that is the main crossing point on the western bank of the Berbice River. New Amsterdam is on the east bank.
Canje River
The Canje River, located in northeastern Guyana, is the main tributary of the Berbice River. It runs roughly parallel to the Atlantic Ocean coast. The Dutch established an outpost, Concordia Post, on the river. In 1763 a slave revolt began on two plantations on the Canje River. The Canje River supplies water to the Guyana Sugar Corporation's Skeldon Estate (c. 12,000 acres); Albion Estate (20,000 acres); and Rose Hall Estate (12,000 to 14,000 acres).
