17-acre lake near Cass County. The lake tops out around 35 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Squeedunk draws 17 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline.
