Lake Map Gift Co.

Minnesota lake map gifts

Minnesota lake map gifts: depth-contour designs of 34 Minnesota lakes, from Mille Lacs, Detroit and Big Sandy lakes to smaller Becker and Aitkin County lakes, drawn from Minnesota DNR lake surveys and printed to order on canvas, posters, mugs, T-shirts and tote bags.

Minnesota is new to our catalog. We started in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and have now redrawn 34 Minnesota lakes, most of them in Becker County around Detroit Lakes and in Aitkin County around Big Sandy Lake, plus Mille Lacs Lake. Each lake has its own page with three designs traced from Minnesota DNR lake bathymetry contours: a light contour map, a dark contour map and a shaded depth map that darkens toward the deepest basin. The point is one specific lake: the one with the family cabin, the fishing opener, or the fish house every winter. Find it below, open its page and choose the product. Every design is decorative art, not a chart for the boat or the ice.

Minnesota lakes we have mapped

Sorted from deepest to shallowest by the maximum depth recorded in the survey data. Many Minnesota lake names repeat, so check the county under each name.

Frequently asked questions

How many Minnesota lakes do you have maps for?

34, in Becker County (17), Aitkin County (12), Mille Lacs County (2), Pennington County (1), Pipestone County (1), Nobles County (1). More are being added.

Which Minnesota lake is deepest on your site?

Round Lake in Aitkin County, recorded at 120 feet at its deepest in the Minnesota DNR bathymetry data our designs are drawn from. Survey figures can be old, so treat them as history rather than a current sounding.

Where do the Minnesota depth lines come from?

From Minnesota DNR lake bathymetry contours. We trace the shoreline and contour lines and redraw them as decorative art; how the maps are made explains the process.

My Minnesota lake is not here. Will you add it?

We are adding Minnesota lakes in batches, then northern Wisconsin. Search the site by name to see whether a lake is ready.

Who prints and ships the gifts?
