Sobradinho Reservoir Map
The Sobradinho Reservoir is a lake in Brazil, covering about 4,220 km² (1,630 sq mi). 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 385 m (1,263 ft) above sea level. Inflows include São Francisco River. It drains through the São Francisco River.
The blue outline marks the Sobradinho Reservoir as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Petrolina, Irecê, Senhor do Bonfim, Remanso and Xique-Xique.
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.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Sobradinho Reservoir 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 the Sobradinho Reservoir is, not a surveyed boundary.
