Map showing major rivers in Mexico. Among the longest rivers of Mexico are 26 streams of at least 250 km (160 mi). In the case of rivers such as the Colorado, the length listed in the table below is solely that of the main stem. [1] In the case of the Grijalva and Usumacinta, it is the combined lengths of two river systems that share a delta. [2]
