About White Oak Pond
White Oak Pond sits in Merrimack County, a short drive from Concord, New Hampshire's state capital. Like most water bodies in this part of New England, its basin was carved out by the retreat of glacial ice at the end of the last ice age, leaving behind the kind of small, deep kettle and moraine ponds that dot central New Hampshire. The pond covers roughly 269 acres, with about four miles of shoreline tracing its perimeter through mixed hardwood and pine forest typical of the region.
Modeled bathymetry puts the pond's maximum depth near 70 feet, notably deep for its surface area and a sign of a steep-sided basin rather than a shallow, marshy pond. Shoreline development around ponds this size in Merrimack County tends toward seasonal camps and year-round homes mixed with undeveloped forest, with residents and visitors using the water for boating, fishing, and swimming. Its proximity to Concord places it within easy reach of the Concord area's year-round population while keeping the immediate shoreline rural in character.

White Oak Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a White Oak Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 12 ft, 23 ft, 35 ft, 46 ft, 58 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 70 ft. The lake covers about 0.5 square miles, and 11 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 White Oak 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 White Oak 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 White Oak Pond.
White Oak 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 White Oak Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. White Oak 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.
