Where is The Gambia located in western Africa?

The Gambia is a country located in western Africa that occupies a long, narrow strip of land extending approximately 300 miles (480 km) into the interior. It is situated on the Atlantic coast and is almost entirely surrounded by the neighbouring country of Senegal.12

The nation's geography is defined by the Gambia River, which flows through the center of the country, with the territory extending 15 to 30 miles (25 to 50 km) on either side of the river. Due to its unique shape, The Gambia partially isolates the southern Senegalese region of Casamance from the rest of Senegal.123
