About Hubbard Pond
Hubbard Pond sits in southern New Hampshire, part of a landscape shaped by glacial retreat roughly 12,000 to 14,000 years ago, when melting ice sheets carved out the region's granite basins and left behind the small lakes and ponds that dot Hillsborough and Rockingham counties. Many of these water bodies took their names from the families who settled and farmed the surrounding land in the 1700s and 1800s, a pattern consistent with Hubbard Pond's name. The pond covers about 180 acres with roughly four miles of shoreline, modest by New England standards but typical of the region's spring-fed kettle and glacial ponds.
The pond sits within reach of Manchester, New Hampshire's largest city, making it a nearby retreat for residents rather than a remote wilderness destination. Ponds of this size and depth in the area typically support small camps and seasonal cottages along the shore, along with canoeing, kayaking, and warm-water fishing for species like largemouth bass, pickerel, and sunfish. A maximum depth of about 32 feet is enough to stratify in summer and hold a cold-water refuge for fish, while keeping most of the basin shallow enough for weed growth and swimming along the banks.

Hubbard Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Hubbard Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 5 ft, 11 ft, 16 ft, 22 ft, 27 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 32 ft. The lake covers about 0.3 square miles, and 6 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 Hubbard 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 Hubbard 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 Hubbard Pond.
Hubbard 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 Hubbard Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Hubbard 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.
