How to read this map
Its surface lies about 178 m (583 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Waiau River, Grebe River, Spey River, Iris Burn, Freeman Burn, Awe Burn, Oonah Burn and Wolfe Burn. It drains through the Waiau River.
The blue outline marks Lake Manapouri as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Queenstown and Gore.
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 Manapouri 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 Manapouri is, not a surveyed boundary.
