About Wakefield Pond
Wakefield Pond sits in the rolling terrain of northern Rhode Island, close enough to the Massachusetts line that Worcester, roughly twenty miles north, is the nearest city most people would recognize. The pond covers about 59 acres, small enough to cross by canoe in under an hour, with roughly two miles of shoreline threading through wooded, mostly undeveloped land typical of this part of New England.
The surrounding region carries the glacial signature common across southern New England, where retreating ice sheets left behind a scatter of kettle ponds and shallow basins like this one. Wakefield Pond draws a modest, local crowd rather than seasonal tourists: anglers working the deeper basin, paddlers on quiet mornings, and residents of the small towns nearby who treat it as a backyard pond rather than a destination.

Wakefield Pond depth chart, in wood
This is a Wakefield Pond depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 7 ft, 14 ft, 21 ft, 28 ft, 35 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 42 ft. The lake covers about 0.1 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield Pond.
Wakefield 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 Wakefield Pond; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Wakefield 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.
