Storsjön Map
Storsjön is a lake in Sweden, covering about 456 km² (176 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 74 m (243 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 292 m (958 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Indalsälven, Ytterån and Billstaån. It drains through Indalsälven.
The blue outline marks Storsjön as mapped by Natural Earth. Towns and cities on the map include Östersund.
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 Storsjön 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 Storsjön is, not a surveyed boundary.
