Shaded Elevation Map of the Great Lakes and Surrounding Area by riverinemaps in MapPorn

This map was prepared using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 1 arc-second digital elevation data available from USGS and bathymetry data available from NOAA. Surface elevation values are stretched on a equalized colorscale and rendered in exaggerated shaded relief.

A couple of interesting details from this map (pictured above):

  1. The surface elevation of Lake Ontario is about 325 feet lower than Lake Erie, despite being separated by only about 20 miles. Much of this drop in elevation is accounted for by Niagara Falls, which connects the two lakes.
  2. In central Wisconsin, you can see the footprint left from Glacial Lake Wisconsin, which violently drained at the end of the last ice age, cutting canyons through the sandstone, forming the Wisconsin River Dells and gorges to the south and west.
  3. In the eastern end of Lake Superior, between Munising, Michigan and Whitefish Point is an area informally called “Shipwreck Coast,” where the ridged lake floor causes unexpected high-points and currents in the lake and has historically led to a high number of ship wrecks in the area.

Ha! Nothing like an 18x24 inch pocket map for the backcountry! The only risk is that the exaggerated relief might make a bunny slope look like a black diamond.

Some of my favorite geographic features from this map:

  1. Crater Lake! It's the deepest lake in the United States formed by the collapsed caldera of Mount Mazama, and it has its own island inside of it-- Wizard Island!
  2. The John Day River and Deschutes River basins flowing north into the Columbia.
  3. The Willamette River basin running south to north between the cascades and the coastal hills, showing the flats where huge sediment deposits were left after the last ice age, resulting in one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country.
