Kansas lakes

This is a depth map of Lone Star Lake. After data is collected in the field, scientists take it back to the laboratory for further computer processing. Water depth, lake bottom type, and other parameters are generated from the data, and the thousands of data points are transformed into a depth map of the reservoir. Water depths go from pink colored shallow areas of 1 to 5 feet to deeper areas in orange and red at 25 to 29 feet.
