Konkouré

Konkouré stands in the highlands of Futa Jalon, near the headwaters of the river that bears its name. Rising in the hills around Mamou, the Konkouré drains the western plateau and descends towards the Atlantic through valleys and rapids. Its basin links the elevated interior with the coastal lowlands, where the river opens into a broad estuary. The surrounding highlands are the source of several other great West African rivers, including the Senegal and the Gambia.

The later city of Kindia lies here.
