A cartographic representation detailing the geographical features of a specific reservoir in Pennsylvania, including its shoreline, depth contours (bathymetry), islands, inlets, and surrounding terrain. Such representations are crucial for navigation, recreational activities, and resource management. For instance, anglers use these depictions to locate promising fishing spots, while boaters rely on them for safe passage and avoidance of underwater hazards.
These visual aids provide numerous advantages, including improved safety for boaters by highlighting potential dangers. They also facilitate efficient planning for recreational activities, maximizing enjoyment of the lake’s resources. Historically, the creation of these geographic references involved laborious manual surveying techniques. Modern iterations often incorporate advanced technologies like sonar and GPS to achieve increased accuracy and detail.
