    Contour map (for dark shirts)

Nelson Lake lies in Iron County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources surveyed its basin and drew 7 depth contour lines, from the shoreline down to the deepest water at about 30 feet.

Each Nelson Lake 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 our print-on-demand partners, and make a gift for anyone with a cabin, a boat or a lifetime of summers on Nelson Lake. The maps are decorative and not for navigation.

Questions about Nelson Lake

How deep is Nelson Lake?

Nelson Lake is recorded at 30 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 Nelson Lake?

Nelson Lake is in Iron County, Michigan.

Where do the Nelson Lake 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.

Can I use the Nelson Lake 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.
