Lake Gaston was created in 1963 when Virginia Electric and Power (now Dominion Virginia Power) built a hydroelectric dam on the Roanoke River. The lake has more than 350 miles (560 km) of shoreline, 20,000 surface acres, is 34 miles (55 km) long and has an average depth of 40 feet (12 m).
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).

Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward.
