About West Point Lake
West Point Lake was formed in the mid-1970s when the Army Corps of Engineers closed West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River, straddling the Georgia–Alabama line south of Atlanta. It covers close to 26,000 acres with depths to 85 feet near the dam. LaGrange and West Point, Georgia, sit on the Georgia side, with Lanett and Valley, Alabama, across the water. It was the first impoundment south of Atlanta on the river, which meant it bore the brunt of the city's sewage overflow until a major cleanup in the 1990s.

West Point Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a West Point Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 12 ft, 24 ft, 36 ft, 48 ft, 60 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 72 ft. The lake covers about 41.3 square miles, and 2577 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 West Point 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 West Point 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 West Point Lake.
West Point 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 West Point Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. West Point 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.
