No Name lies in Alger and Luce counties in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources surveyed its basin and drew 16 depth contour lines, from the shoreline down to the deepest water at about 9 feet.
Each No Name 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 No Name. The maps are decorative and not for navigation.
Questions about No Name
How deep is No Name?
No Name is recorded at 9 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 No Name?
No Name is in Alger County and Luce County, Michigan. It crosses a county line, so it is listed on each county page.
Where do the No Name 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 No Name 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.
