About Lake North Cell
Lake North Cell sits in Baltimore County, Maryland, a modeled reservoir spanning roughly 588 acres with about four miles of shoreline. Its position places it within reach of Baltimore's suburbs, making it a stop for anglers and paddlers who want water access without a long drive. The surrounding land mixes residential development with pockets of woods and wetland typical of the Piedmont region east of the Appalachians.
The lake draws a mix of local fishermen working its shallows and edges and residents who use it for quiet paddling rather than high-speed boating. Its modeled maximum depth of about 42 feet gives it enough structure to hold fish through summer stratification, a detail that matters more to the people who fish it regularly than to passersby. Its shape and shoreline reflect the kind of engineered or semi-engineered water body common to this part of Maryland, built into a landscape already shaped by roads, subdivisions, and small watersheds feeding the Chesapeake Bay drainage.

Lake North Cell depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake North Cell depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 7 ft, 14 ft, 21 ft, 28 ft, 35 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 42 ft. The lake covers about 1.0 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Lake North Cell 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 North Cell 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 North Cell.
Lake North Cell 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 North Cell; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake North Cell 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.
