Isobaths (underwater contour lines) generated for all Vermont lakes and ponds with available bathymetric data. Currently that’s a small fraction of the actual lakes and ponds in Vermont. Generated for use on the Catamount Hardware Ice Atlas.

Lake Champlain
Lake Champlain Bathymetry points for general mapping purposes only.
The ElevationDEM_LKCHDEM data layer includes bathymetric data derived from NOAA nautical charts. All points were digitized from the RF 40,000 scale NOAA charts for Lake Champlain.
Vermont (non-Champlain) lakes and ponds
Bathymetric Data showing depth (ft) and location for various lakes and ponds in Vermont. Water depth is relative to pool elevation at the time of collection.
