Its surface lies about 202 m (663 ft) above sea level. It drains through the Baker River. It is shared by Chile and Argentina.
The blue outline marks Lake General Carrera/Buenos Aires as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Coyhaique.
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 Lake General Carrera/Buenos Aires 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 General Carrera/Buenos Aires is, not a surveyed boundary.
