125-acre river near Barneveld. The river tops out around 6 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Barneveldse Beek's chart carries NaN miles of bank — 10 islands included. A middling shoreline index (NaN) gives it some bays to work without being a maze.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 2 to 6 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 6 ft, winter 2 to 6 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Measured shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
