About Lake Moultrie
Lake Moultrie was built alongside Lake Marion in the early 1940s as the second lake of the Santee Cooper hydroelectric and navigation project, with Pinopolis Dam impounding water diverted from the Santee River system. It covers roughly 60,000 acres, South Carolina's third-largest lake, around Moncks Corner, Cross and St. Stephen. The lake rarely freezes and keeps long stretches of cypress swamp and blackwater creek along its edges. A 58-pound channel catfish, a world record at the time it was caught, came out of these waters, and the lake still holds the state's black crappie record.

Lake Moultrie depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Moultrie depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 32 ft, 65 ft, 97 ft, 129 ft, 162 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 194 ft. The lake covers about 87.0 square miles, and 919 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 Moultrie 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 Moultrie 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 Moultrie.
Lake Moultrie 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 Moultrie; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Moultrie 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.
