Williston Lake Map
Williston Lake is a lake in Canada, covering about 1,760 km² (680 sq mi), with a maximum depth of 166 m (545 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 671 m (2,201 ft) above sea level. Inflows include Omineca River, Finlay River, Ingenika River, Mesilinka River, Nation River and Pack River. It drains through the Peace River.
The blue outline marks Williston Lake as mapped by Natural Earth. Labeled countries: British Columbia.
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 Williston Lake 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 Williston Lake is, not a surveyed boundary.
