Hello all, I'm currently running Waterdeep Dragon Heist with my players and plan on running Mad Mage right after. We are just entering chapter 3 of Dragon Heist and I have had a few occurrences where I have trouble finding info on the cities landmarks, layout, descriptions, or other specific information. I usually can find this info with a good deal of research or searching back through Volo's guide of Waterdeep in the book, but wanted to create this thread for gathering specific info regarding anything and everything within and surrounding Waterdeep. Please feel free to add to the thread by asking or answering any questions, thanks all.
Right now I'm looking into the specifics of elevation surrounding Waterdeep. I have found already that the Mt. peak sits at 1500 ft elevation, I'm curious to know what the Sea and North Ward elevations are; to know how much of this Mt. top looms over the city. The Dock Ward obviously sits right above the water and climbs upward in the northern direction. I am curious to know exactly how deep the harbor is. Waterdeep is known for its deep harbor, also obviously, but I have been searching through the book and web and have had much difficulty finding this info. This would have been very useful info when I was running the City Watch Faction mission to dive into the harbor searching for a copper dragon. The encounter went smoothly without this info because of the encounter layout. Shortly after one of the party members went back to try and scavenge more gold without the dragon and I had difficulty running this as I didn't know how deep the player would have to search and what the pressure would do to a person.

Here's a link to an interactive map of Waterdeep. It should help out a little.
