Description
This miscellaneous investigation consists of a bathymetric (lake-depth) map of Glendale Lake in Prince Gallitzin State Park, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The map is presented in three formats: a large (36 inches by 36 inches) color map of the entire lake at 1:6,600 scale; a multi-page, color map showing sections of the lake at 1:7,680 scale; and a multi-page, black-and-white map of the sections also at 1:7,680 scale. The multi-page formats fit on legal-size paper (8.5 inches by 14 inches). OFMI 16–01.0 is one of many similar reports that were produced by the Pennsylvania Geological Survey at the request of state park managers and is of use to anglers and boaters visiting the park. In addition to water depths, the maps in these reports display fish-friendly structures, such as stumps or downed trees, and they show amenities in the parks, such as boat ramps, concessions, and restrooms. A readme file reminds the user of the limitations of these maps—although useful as a guide, they are not to be used for navigation.
