Lake Torrens Map
Lake Torrens is a lake in Australia, covering about 5,700 km² (2,200 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 8 m (26 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 30 m (98 ft) above sea level.
The blue outline marks Lake Torrens as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Port Augusta.
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 Torrens 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 Torrens is, not a surveyed boundary.
