Lake Champlain Map
Lake Champlain is a lake across the United States and Canada, covering about 1,270 km² (490 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 122 m (400 ft). This map shows the lake outlined in blue on shaded relief, with the rivers, borders and towns around it.
How to read this map
Its surface lies about 30 m (98 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Otter Creek, Missisquoi River, Winooski River, La Chute, Ausable River, Pike River, Saranac River and Lamoille River. It drains through the Richelieu River. It lies in Vermont and New York.
The blue outline marks Lake Champlain as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Montreal, Sherbrooke, Cornwall, Plattsburgh and Montpelier. Labeled states and countries: Vermont.
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, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of Lake Champlain 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 Lake Champlain is, not a surveyed boundary.
