About Duck Lake Calhoun
Duck Lake is the largest lake in Calhoun County, Michigan, covering about 629 acres near the town of Springport, with most of the lake five to ten feet deep and a maximum depth of 50 feet. It is counted among Michigan's fifty best fishing lakes for its warmwater variety, holding northern pike, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and several sunfish species in good numbers. A public boat landing gives access for the boating, fishing and sailing that make up most of the lake's traffic.

Duck Lake Calhoun depth chart, in wood
This is a Duck Lake Calhoun 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 1.0 square miles, and 26 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 Duck Lake Calhoun 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 Duck Lake Calhoun 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 Duck Lake Calhoun.
Duck Lake Calhoun 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 Duck Lake Calhoun; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Duck Lake Calhoun 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.
