Taymyr Map
Taymyr is a lake in Russia, covering about 4,560 km² (1,760 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 26 m (85 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 6 m (20 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Verkhnyaya Taymyra, Baykura, Bikada-Nguoma, Yamutarida and Ledyanaya. It drains through Taymyra.
The blue outline marks Taymyr as mapped by Natural Earth.
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 Taymyr 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 Taymyr is, not a surveyed boundary.

The blank version keeps the mapped features and removes the place labels. Download it for a geography worksheet or practice identifying the features.
