Location map
It'd be nice to see a location map. The satellite and other maps, as zoomed in as they are, don't reflect it's location within the US.

Depth / volume graphic
The vertical scale doesn’t match up with the graphic, (eg lake Michigan’s maximum depth of 925ft doesn’t match with the scale on the left).
Also, the Lake Ontario block in that graphic is mis-sized vertically compared to the others.
Is a corrected graphic available?

Units
Why does this article, like articles of all the Great Lakes, use imperial / US customary units first, despite that Great Lakes are also in Canada, a country that uses metric units?
