Description
This miscellaneous investigation consists of a bathymetric (lake-depth) map of Lake Nockamixon in Nockamixon State Park in southeastern Pennsylvania. The map is presented in three formats: a color, oversized sheet (36 inches by 14 inches) of the entire lake at 1:12,480 scale; a multi-page, color map showing sections of the lake at 1:9,000 scale; and a multi-page, black-and-white map showing the same sections at 1:9,000 scale. The multi-page formats are set up to print on legal-size paper (14 inches by 8.5 inches). The publication 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.
