Kapuas

Kapuas lies in the river country of southern Borneo, on a waterway distinct from the great Kapuas of western Borneo. The southern river descends from the interior toward the Java Sea, crossing a landscape of forests and lowlands. Local traditions remember communities forming settlements along the Kapuas and Kapuas Murung and their branches. The river joined these places to one another and to the wider network of waterways of the south coast.
