Lake Kyoga Map

How to read this map
Its surface lies about 914 m (2,999 ft) above sea level. Inflows include White Nile. It drains through Murchison Falls.
The blue outline marks Lake Kyoga as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Mbale, Jinja, Lira, Bombo, Iganga, Mityana, Masindi and Pallisa. Labeled countries: Uganda.
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 Kyoga 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 Kyoga is, not a surveyed boundary.

The blank version keeps the mapped features and removes the place labels. Download it for a geography worksheet or practice identifying the features.
