Summary
DescriptionPanama-Canal-rough-diagram-quick.jpg |
English: A diagram illustrating the layout of the Panama Canal (in quick JPEG format, auto-resizes to fit).
Due to the shape of the Isthmus of Panama, the Pacific end of the canal is actually the south-east end, and the Caribbean / Atlantic end is at the north-west. From the Pacific side, the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel locks (with two and one stages respectively) lead up to the highest level of the canal, 26 metres (85 feet) above sea level. The Culebra Cut (or Gaillard Cut) leads to Gatún Lake, created by damming the Chagres River; then the Gatún Locks lead back down to sea level in Limón Bay. The heavy red line shows the ship route. The narrower red line in Gatún Lake is the Banana Cut, a shortcut used by canal boats and yachts. |

This transport map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}} .
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Panama-Canal-rough-diagram-quick.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
This transport map image was uploaded in the JPEG format even though it consists of non-photographic data. This information could be stored more efficiently or accurately in the PNG or SVG format. If possible, please upload a PNG or SVG version of this image without compression artifacts, derived from a non-JPEG source (or with existing artifacts removed). After doing so, please tag the JPEG version with {{Superseded|NewImage.ext}} and remove this tag. This tag should not be applied to photographs or scans. If this image is a diagram or other image suitable for vectorisation, please tag this image with {{Convert to SVG}} instead of {{BadJPEG}}. If not suitable for vectorisation, use {{Convert to PNG}}.
