About Lake Havasu

Lake Havasu was formed in 1938 by Parker Dam on the Colorado River, about 19,000 acres and 90 feet deep on the Arizona–California line. Lake Havasu City was founded in 1963 by Robert McCulloch, who bought London Bridge in 1968, shipped it over stone by stone, and rebuilt it across a channel he dug for the purpose.

Why we cut this one

Lake Havasu is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.

Depth chart

Lake Havasu depth chart, in wood

This is a Lake Havasu depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 15 ft, 30 ft, 45 ft, 60 ft, 75 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 90 ft. The lake covers about 25.3 square miles, and 2748 shore roads are engraved around it. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.

A Lake Havasu map for the wall — or a gift

Most of these go to a cabin wall, a lake house entry, or a home office; a lot are gifts — the family that has been on Lake Havasu for three generations, the retirement move, the first boat. The 12-inch is the desk-and-shelf size; the 24- and 30-inch boards read across a room. Add a line under the title and star your place on the shore, and it becomes the map of your Lake Havasu.

Questions

Lake Havasu map — the details

How big is the map?

Four sizes: 12, 17, 24 and 30 inches on the long side, from $149. Every size is cut from the same depth data of Lake Havasu; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.

Is it made from real depth data?

Yes. Lake Havasu is cut layer by layer from published bathymetric soundings — each layer of birch is a depth contour, so the shape of the bottom is the real one, not decorative.

Can I add my own place on it?

Yes. At checkout you can add a line under the title (a family name, a cabin name, a year) and star the spot on the shore that matters to you.

How long does it take?

Made to order in Waterford, Pennsylvania and shipped in 7–10 days; shipping is free in the lower 48.

Can you make a lake that isn't listed?

Any lake in the United States — we hold depth data for 104,419 of them. Search for yours; if it isn't built yet we build it when you order.
