Description: Lake Michigan bathymetric shaded relief map contoured with interval 25 m (100 m with thicker lines). The deepest point is marked with "×". For land the vertical datum is sea level, for bathymetry low water datum of the lake. The map was created using the Generic Mapping Tools, GMT, version 5.1.1.
