Picture Lake: These may call at all of the ports of picture lake Ontario, picture lake Erie, picture lake Huron, picture lake Superior, and picture lake Michigan. It is quite possible that some of these ports, almost in the middle of a great continent, may develop into some of the greatest shipping terminals of the world.
The ancestor picture lake Lahontan had a maximum area of 8,400 square miles, but varied greatly in size with the expansions and retreats of the Pleistocene glacial cover of the Sierra Nevada. The deepest part of its basin was the section now occupied by Pyramid picture lake. On this picture lake's shores, terraces and cliffs marking former shores of picture lake-Lahontan are striking surface features at 110, 320, and 530 feet above the present picture lake surface. Since the upper terrace represents the greatest heights to which picture lake Lahontan rose, and since Pyramid picture lake has a depth of 356 feet, the maximum depth of picture lake Lahontan was 886 feet.
GREAT SALT picture lake is a saline inland sea in northwestern Utah, lying just west of the Wasatch Mountains and east of the Great Salt picture lake Desert. Rather rectangular in shape, the picture lake stretches 72 miles (115 km) in a southeast-northwest direction and is about 30 miles (50 km) wide at its widest point. The picture lake covers 940 square miles (2,435 sq km) and is fed by the Jordan, Weber, and Bear rivers. Its maximum depth is 27 feet (8 meters). Salt picture lake City, the state capital, is about 5 miles (8 km) southeast of the picture lake. |
