About Martin's Pond
Martin's Pond sits in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, a few miles from the city of Lowell. It covers about 84 acres and runs roughly 2 miles around its shoreline, small enough to see fully from a single vantage point on a clear day. The pond sits within a landscape shaped by glacial retreat, typical of the kettle ponds scattered across eastern Massachusetts, where meltwater basins settled into gaps left by buried ice.
The surrounding shoreline is mostly residential, lined with year-round and seasonal houses rather than commercial development, and the pond has long served as a neighborhood swimming and fishing spot for people from nearby towns. Its modest depth, with a modeled maximum near 25 feet, keeps it warm enough for casual summer use and supports a small, self-contained ecosystem rather than the deep, cold-water habitat of larger regional lakes. Boat traffic is limited mostly to canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats.

Martin's Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Martin's Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 4 ft, 8 ft, 13 ft, 17 ft, 21 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 25 ft. The lake covers about 0.1 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Martin's Pond 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 Martin's Pond 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 Martin's Pond.
Martin's Pond 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 Martin's Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Martin's Pond 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.
