About Pueblo Reservoir
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation completed Pueblo Dam in 1975 on the Arkansas River, forming the reservoir just west of Pueblo, Colorado, as part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. The project moved water from the Colorado River basin across the Continental Divide to supply the Arkansas Valley, and the dam itself stretches more than two miles, combining earthfill and concrete sections. The reservoir sits at the boundary between the plains and the foothills, drawing water from mountain snowmelt carried in through a series of tunnels and canals.
Pueblo Reservoir draws anglers after walleye, wipers, and trout, along with boaters and windsurfers who use the open water on the reservoir's exposed, often windy stretches. The surrounding state park includes campgrounds and a marina, and the area sees traffic from both Pueblo residents and visitors driving down from Colorado Springs. The reservoir's basin is long and irregular, following the old river valley, which gives it a narrower, winding profile compared to the rounder reservoirs common elsewhere on the plains.

Pueblo Reservoir depth chart, in wood
This is a Pueblo Reservoir depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 16 ft, 32 ft, 48 ft, 64 ft, 80 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 95 ft. The lake covers about 6.4 square miles, and 305 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 Pueblo Reservoir 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 Pueblo Reservoir 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 Pueblo Reservoir.
Pueblo Reservoir 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 Pueblo Reservoir; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Pueblo Reservoir 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.
