Lough Neagh Map
Lough Neagh is a lake in the United Kingdom, covering about 392 km² (151 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 25 m (82 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 16 m (52 ft) above sea level. Inflows include River Bann, River Moyola and River Maine. It drains through the River Bann.
The blue outline marks Lough Neagh as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Belfast, Londonderry/Derry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Omagh, Lisburn and Monaghan.
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 Lough Neagh 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 Lough Neagh is, not a surveyed boundary.
