Lake Nipissing Map
Lake Nipissing is a lake in Canada, covering about 873 km² (337 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 52 m (171 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 196 m (643 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Sturgeon River and Duchesnay Creek. It drains through the French River.
The blue outline marks Lake Nipissing as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Greater Sudbury, North Bay and Parry Sound.
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 Nipissing 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 Nipissing is, not a surveyed boundary.
