Lamu Archipelago geographic point of interest

Currently the Ewaso Nyiro river ends in the Lorian Swamp in North-East Kenya. It has been suggested that the river once flowed into the Indian Ocean, causing what is now the Lamu Archipelago. However - the course that seems more etched into the earth displayed on Google Maps is one of a more east direction, entering the Indian Ocean north of Kismaayo in Somalia.

The Ewaso Nyiro is, in fact the most south western river course in theJubaa and Shebelle rivers drainage basin.

Whether a tributary of the Ewaso Nyiro branched off in a more southerly direction and entered the Ocean at Lamu is not so clear.
