64-acre lake near Québec. The lake tops out around 25 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.

Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 25 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
