About Tower Hill Pond
Tower Hill Pond sits in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, roughly a dozen miles from Manchester, the state's largest city. At about 170 acres, it is small next to Winnipesaukee or Sunapee, and it sees far less boat traffic. The land around it is mostly forested lots and seasonal camps rather than marinas or resort development, and access points are limited.
The shoreline runs about two miles, tracing the irregular, uneven perimeter typical of ponds scattered across the hills of southern New Hampshire. Modeled depth reaches roughly 55 feet, deep for a pond its size, holding a cooler layer through summer even as the surface stays modest. Most who use it are local anglers working the pond for bass and pickerel, and paddlers looking for a quiet put-in rather than a destination lake.
- 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

Tower Hill Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Tower Hill Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 9 ft, 18 ft, 28 ft, 37 ft, 46 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 55 ft. The lake covers about 0.3 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Tower Hill 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 Tower Hill 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 Tower Hill Pond.
Tower Hill 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 Tower Hill Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Tower Hill 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.
