KANSASLAKEMAPS.COM web site launch

[KBSJayhawk]

THIS IS A NON-COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

ASTRA is pleased to announce the launch of a new website to deliver results of our statewide lake mapping program to the general public.

Aimed primarily at boaters, fishermen, and other recreational users of our state waters, www.kansaslakemaps.com has free lake bottom contour (bathymetric) maps of over two dozen state, local, and federal lakes and reservoirs across the state.

The site is designed to allow a user to select a lake based on its name, area, depth, location by county, or proximity to the nearest city.

Data for creating the lake maps came from ASTRA’s long-term program of reservoir bathymetric surveys, funded primarily by the Kansas Water office under the Reservoir Sustainability Initiative.

As additional lakes continue to be mapped by ASTRA, maps for those reservoirs will be posted on the website, with the long-term intent of providing maps for nearly every reservoir in the state.

Users can download a map suitable for viewing and printing in PDF format from the site.

Contour maps of the lake bottom are the first product to be delivered via the website, with additional products in development.

Welcome to CDC KS. Thanks for posting the web site. :D:D With up to date bottom contours, silted in areas can be avoided. <*)}}}><
