The maps that accompany [[The Lord of the Rings]] show [[Lórien]] as an approximate rectangle, with the course of [[Celebrant]] more or less perpendicular to that of [[Anduin]], and so it may seem odd to refer to an 'Angle' between the two rivers. However, there are various references in the text to the sharpness of the angle where the rivers met, and it seems that the land of [[Lórien]] may have been rather longer and narrower than is shown in the familiar maps.
