I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview of "Maritsa." The only information provided is a caption referencing a map of the river, which tells me that Maritsa is a river, but doesn't provide details about its location, significance, or why it matters. I would need additional context to create an accurate, factual 2-sentence overview.
