The river, end to end
Every spot at its true river mile. Colour is what the water is doing there now; the small figure is how long a release leaving the dam takes to arrive.

Travel times use the standard rule of thumb of about 2 miles an hour — we have not measured this river's own speeds yet, so give yourself margin.
