Description:

Abstract:: This GIS layer contains bathymetric contours of selected freshwater lakes in eastern and western Washington during the mid-seventies. The bathymetric contours were digitized from maps contained in a series of seven documents: Reconnaissance Data on Lakes in Washington, Water-Supply Bulletin 43, Volume 1 through 7 by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Purpose:: Although both the importance and value of the Washington lakes are widely recognized, the quality and type of information currently available for most of the lakes are not adequate to provide the understanding needed for wise management of the lakes. Thus, the need to obtain additional information about lakes resulted in the initiation in 1970 of a cooperative program between the Washington Department of Ecology and the U.S., Geological Survey, whereby selected lakes in Washington would be investigated.
In general, the study consists of a data-collection program designed to (1) document the present water quality and the overall status of the lakes, and (2) provide basic data pertaining to the physical, cultural, and water-quality characteristics of lakes in order to establish a base of reference that will allow periodic appraisals of future lake conditions.
More than 750 lakes in all but four counties of the State were studied; these are equally distributed between western and eastern Washington. Most of the lakes investigated were 20 acres or larger in size and were selected because the constitute shorelines of the State covered under the Shoreline Management Act of 1971 (Washington State Department of Ecology, 1973). However, some of the lakes listed as constituting shorelines of the State were not sampled; these included marshes with no open water or intermittent lakes which were dry at the time of visit.
Supplemental_Information:: Original documents which contain the bathymetric maps are available in Ecology's library and on-line as PDF files (see Source Information section).
