Delaware River Flag and Tributary River Metric Flags

Delaware River Flag

Rivers are often linked to other rivers.  But the core river of any river system is the river that empties into the the ocean.  In this example, the Delaware River is used to model the different types of river flags.  The order of the colour in the diamond indicates how the tributary rivers are connected to the core-main river.  This order of colours follows the rainbow pattern.  If a river empties into the Delaware River then it gets an orange seal.  If a river empties into a secondary tributary river, then the seal is yellow.  This pattern follows the rainbow-metric order.  Every river that is connected to the Delaware River consequently has a Liberty Bell, as this is the key icon of the Delaware River.

To the left are several river flags that drain into the Delaware River.  They are all orange because orange is the second colour of the rainbow and they are second to their final destination of a body of salt water.  The stars on the left or right side indicate which bank of the Delaware River they reside, east bank or west bank.
