About Lake Keowee
Lake Keowee in the South Carolina upstate was filled in 1971 by Duke Power on the Keowee and Little rivers, with the Jocassee dam upstream feeding it. It covers about 18,000 acres with roughly 300 miles of shoreline, and the water is noticeably clearer and colder than the Piedmont lakes to the south.
The Cliffs communities, Keowee Key and the town of Seneca sit on its shores; Clemson is a few miles away. The Cherokee town of Keowee, the 'place of mulberries', lies under the northern part of the lake.

Lake Keowee depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Keowee depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 50 ft, 100 ft, 150 ft, 200 ft, 250 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 300 ft. The lake covers about 26.5 square miles, and 3061 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 Keowee 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 Keowee 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 Keowee.
Lake Keowee 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 Keowee; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Keowee 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.
