About Thomas Pond
Thomas Pond sits a short drive from Lewiston, in the belt of small glacial ponds that cover this part of southern Maine. The pond covers roughly 467 acres and holds about 5 miles of shoreline, fed and drained by the small streams typical of the region rather than any single river system. Its basin is the kind carved by retreating ice sheets, leaving an irregular shoreline rather than a single round bowl.
The pond's moderate depth, cresting near 42 feet by modeled estimates, keeps it cool enough through summer to support both warm and cool water fish, drawing anglers after bass and pickerel. Camps and year-round houses line stretches of the shore, the mix common to Maine ponds within commuting distance of a mill town like Lewiston. Boat traffic stays light, dominated by canoes, kayaks, and small fishing boats rather than larger craft.

Thomas Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Thomas Pond 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 0.8 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas Pond.
Thomas 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 Thomas Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Thomas 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.
