Flopper Pond lies in Marquette County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources surveyed its basin and drew 6 depth contour lines, from the shoreline down to the deepest water at about 25 feet.
Each Flopper Pond design here redraws those survey lines as clean art, set with the lake’s name, county and maximum depth: a minimal contour map, in light and dark versions, and a shaded depth-map print.
They are printed to order on shirts, mugs, posters, canvas prints, stickers and postcards by CafePress, and make a gift for anyone with a cabin, a boat or a lifetime of summers on Flopper Pond. The maps are decorative and not for navigation.
Questions about Flopper Pond
How deep is Flopper Pond?
Flopper Pond is recorded at 25 feet at its deepest point in the survey data our designs are drawn from. On the shaded depth map the deepest basin is the darkest area. Survey figures can be decades old, so treat them as history, not a current sounding.
Where is Flopper Pond?
Flopper Pond is in Marquette County, Michigan.
Where do the Flopper Pond contour lines come from?
The shoreline and depth contours are traced from Michigan DNR inland lake survey contours, then redrawn as three designs: a light contour map, a dark contour map and a shaded depth map. How the maps are made explains the process.
What Flopper Pond gifts can I buy?
The Flopper Pond designs are available as canvas prints, posters, T-shirts, mugs and tote bags. Every item is printed to order and shipped by CafePress; the shop links on this page go straight to each product.
Can I use the Flopper Pond map for boating or fishing?
No. The designs are decorative art drawn from survey data that may be old, and they leave out what a chart needs. On the water, use proper charts and current local information.
