About Lake Oconee
Lake Oconee was formed in 1979 when Georgia Power finished Wallace Dam on the Oconee River, upstream of Lake Sinclair; the two lakes are linked by a pumped-storage plant that runs water both ways. The lake covers about 19,000 acres with 374 miles of shoreline between Greensboro, Eatonton and Madison.
Reynolds Lake Oconee, with its six golf courses and the Ritz-Carlton, turned the lake into Atlanta's second-home country in the 1990s; the north shore is quieter, with the old town of Greensboro and the Piedmont farmland behind it.

Lake Oconee depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Oconee depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 10 ft, 20 ft, 30 ft, 40 ft, 50 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 60 ft. The lake covers about 30.6 square miles, and 1779 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 Oconee 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 Oconee 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 Oconee.
Lake Oconee 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 Oconee; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Oconee 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.
