About Quacumquasit Pond
Quacumquasit Pond sits in central Massachusetts, a short drive from Worcester, in a region shaped by small kettle and glacial ponds strung across the landscape. At roughly 185 acres, it is modest in size compared to the larger lakes nearby, and its three miles of shoreline keep the pond feeling contained rather than sprawling. The name itself, drawn from the Nipmuc language once spoken across this part of Massachusetts, is one of the few place-names in the area that predates English settlement and survived it.
The pond's shoreline carries a mix of year-round houses and seasonal camps, the kind of arrangement common to smaller New England ponds where public access is limited and use stays local. Anglers work it for bass and panfish, and its modeled maximum depth of about 46 feet gives it enough cold water to hold fish through the summer months. It is not a destination lake in the way its larger neighbors are, but it functions as a steady, familiar body of water for the towns around it, used more than it is visited.

Quacumquasit Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Quacumquasit Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 15 ft, 23 ft, 31 ft, 38 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 46 ft. The lake covers about 0.3 square miles, and 16 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 Quacumquasit 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 Quacumquasit 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 Quacumquasit Pond.
Quacumquasit 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 Quacumquasit Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Quacumquasit 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.
