How to read this map
Its surface lies about 1 m (3 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Cebollatí River, Arroyo de la India Muerta, San Luis River, Jaguarão River and Tacuarí River. It drains through the São Gonçalo Channel. It is shared by Uruguay and Brazil.
The blue outline marks Lagoa Mirim as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Pelotas, Rio Grande, Melo, Jaguarão, Santa Vitória do Palmar, Treinta y Tres, Castillos and Lascano.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Lagoa Mirim come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where Lagoa Mirim is, not a surveyed boundary.
