About Robbins Pond
Robbins Pond straddles the line between East Bridgewater and Halifax in Plymouth County, roughly 30 miles south of Boston. Access is informal, a small gravel launch built for canoes and car-top boats rather than anything with a cabin. At about 274 acres, the pond is compact enough to see across but large enough to hold a working shoreline of docks, camps, and a handful of year-round houses. Its shape follows the low, flat terrain typical of southeastern Massachusetts, without the steep banks or rocky points found further inland or north.
The pond draws local anglers working largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and bluegill from small boats close to shore, along with paddlers using the informal launch for early morning and evening trips. There is no marina, no rental fleet, and no public beach, so traffic on the water stays limited to residents and people who drive in specifically to fish. Depth runs to about 48 feet, deeper than the shallow ponds common in this part of Plymouth County, which keeps the water cooler through summer and holds fish lower in the column once the surface warms.
- 34 roads engraved around the shore, 12 of them labeled
- 6 depth layers, each step engraved with its depth in feet
- Compass rose, title block with coordinates, max depth and area; keyhole hanger on the back

Robbins Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Robbins Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 16 ft, 24 ft, 32 ft, 40 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 48 ft. The lake covers about 0.5 square miles, and 34 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 Robbins 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 Robbins 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 Robbins Pond.
Robbins 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 Robbins Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Robbins 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.
