6-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 35 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 6 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 36% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. It sits in Johnson County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Spear Lake, is 1 mi to the west.
