Lake Powell Map
Lake Powell is a lake in the United States, covering about 658 km² (254 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 150 m (492 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 1,129 m (3,704 ft) above sea level. Inflows include San Juan River, Colorado River, Escalante River and Wahweap Creek. It drains through the Colorado River.
The blue outline marks Lake Powell as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Moab.
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 Powell 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 Powell is, not a surveyed boundary.
