Excerpt from Limnological Survey of Eastern and Central Lake Erie, 1928-29The western section, which comprises less than one -eighth of the total area, has a maximum depth of 15 meters. A natural barrier formed by points ex tending from the two shores and two islands (kelly Island and Pelee Island) separates this body of water from the rest of the lake. The waters of the Detroit, Maumee, and Sandusky rivers enter the lake in this area.The middle two -thirds of the lake forms a second section extending from the islands to a shoal having a minimum depth of 13 meters and extending north and south across the lake just west of the 25-meter contour line, in the vicinity of Erie, Pa. This area, the widest part of the lake, forms a broad shallow basin with a maximum depth of 26 meters in its western portion. The greater part of the floor, some times referred to as the Great Plain, is exceptionally even. No major rivers enter here.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
