About Alexander Lake
Alexander Lake sits close to the Connecticut–Rhode Island border, within easy reach of Providence. At about 168 acres with roughly three miles of shoreline, it's a modest-sized lake by New England standards, small enough to cross by kayak in under an hour but large enough to support a ring of year-round and seasonal homes along its edge. Its setting places it among the smaller lakes of the region rather than the larger reservoirs and mill ponds that dominate southern New England's water map.
A depth model of the lake puts its deepest point at around 37 feet, a figure derived from survey data rather than a single sounding. That depth is enough to stratify in summer and hold cooler water below the surface, a pattern common to lakes of its size in this part of Connecticut. The lake draws the kind of use typical of small residential lakes near a metro area: bass and panfish anglers working the shoreline, boaters on calm mornings, and neighbors who know the water by its coves rather than by any single defining feature.

Alexander Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Alexander Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 6 ft, 12 ft, 19 ft, 25 ft, 31 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 37 ft. The lake covers about 0.3 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Alexander Lake 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 Alexander Lake 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 Alexander Lake.
Alexander Lake 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 Alexander Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Alexander Lake 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.
