151-acre lake near Jackson County. The lake tops out around 23 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 159 acres, worked by 2.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 78% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. Jackson County claims this one. Steamboat Lake sits 27 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
