Lake Ladoga Map
Lake Ladoga is a lake across Russia and Finland, covering about 17,700 km² (6,830 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 230 m (755 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 5 m (16 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Svir, Volkhov, Vuoksa, Syas, Uuksunjoki, Jänisjoki, Tohmajoki and Avloga. It drains through Neva. It is shared by Russia and Finland.
The blue outline marks Lake Ladoga as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Saint Petersburg, Kolpino, Vyborg, Gatchina and Tikhvin.
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 Ladoga 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 Ladoga is, not a surveyed boundary.
