Anarjohka (
The river has its sources at Lulit Bissovárri, at an elevation of 549 metres (1,801 ft) in
Karigasniemi, with some 300 inhabitants, is the only settlement of some size along the river. On the Norwegian side, between the border bridge and north to the confluence with Karasjohka, lie the villages of Dorvonjárga and Gámehisnjárga. South of Karigasniemi, the area surrounding the river is very sparsely populated. There are small villages at (from north to south) Iškorasjohka, Jorgastak, and Basevuovdi on the Norwegian side, and at Kuoppaniva, Vuobmaved, and Angeli on the Finnish side. Angeli, which lies opposite Basevouvdi on the Norwegian side, is the largest settlement along the river south of Karigasniemi. Upstream from Basevuovdi / Angeli there are no settlements at all.
Like the Tana, the Anarjohka is a very good river for salmon fishing.
