Monrovia lies along the Cape Mesurado peninsula, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mesurado River,

whose mouth forms a large natural harbor. The Saint Paul River lies directly north of the city and forms
the northern boundary of Bushrod Island, which is reached by crossing the "New Bridge" from
downtown Monrovia. Monrovia is located in Montserrado County and is Liberia's largest city and its
administrative, commercial and financial center.
