About Lake Kitchawan
Lake Kitchawan sits in Westchester County, New York, near the Connecticut border a short drive from Stamford, in the rolling hill country shared by towns like Pound Ridge and Lewisboro. It is small as area lakes go, roughly 77 acres, ringed mostly by private homes rather than public parkland. The surrounding land is wooded and residential, the kind of setting where a lake this size functions as a shared backyard for the handful of streets around it rather than a regional destination.
The shoreline runs about a mile, short enough that the lake reads more as a neighborhood pond than a boating destination, and depth reaches around 45 feet at its deepest point, unusual for a body of water this compact. Residents use it for fishing, paddling, and swimming rather than powerboating. Its name carries over from the Kitchawan people who once inhabited this stretch of the lower Hudson Valley, a naming pattern common to small lakes throughout Westchester County.

Lake Kitchawan depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Kitchawan depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 8 ft, 15 ft, 23 ft, 30 ft, 38 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 45 ft. The lake covers about 0.1 square miles, and 5 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 Lake Kitchawan 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 Lake Kitchawan 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 Lake Kitchawan.
Lake Kitchawan 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 Lake Kitchawan; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Kitchawan 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.
