Bathymetric Map of Lake Tahoe




Bathymetric Maps, otherwise known as seafloor mapping, is the representation of sub-water features. This map of Lake Tahoe shows the depth through a color shaded relief. The green shading is areas of rapid decline. Lake Tahoe has a uniform bottom layer consisting of few elevated features. These maps are taken with LIDAR and other remote sensing technologies that penetrate the water and provide accurate elevation recordings.
