Lake Mistassini is a lake in Canada, covering about 2,340 km² (902 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 180 m (591 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 371 m (1,217 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Rivière Wabissinane, Rivière à la Perche, Rivière Chalifour, Rivière Pipounichouane, Rivière Takwa and Rivière Waconichi. It drains through Rivière Rupert.
The blue outline marks Lake Mistassini as mapped by Natural Earth.
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 Mistassini 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 Mistassini is, not a surveyed boundary.
