About Cedar Creek Reservoir
Cedar Creek Reservoir was completed in 1965 by the Tarrant Regional Water District on Cedar Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, about 50 miles southeast of Dallas. It covers about 34,000 acres with a maximum depth of 62 feet, and the lake supplies Fort Worth even though the city is nowhere near it. Mabank, Gun Barrel City and Kemp are the shore towns, and three islands are set aside as a wildlife refuge for nesting waterbirds.

- 2,892 roads engraved around the shore, 6 of them labeled
- 6 depth layers, each step engraved with its depth in feet

Cedar Creek Reservoir depth chart, in wood
This is a Cedar Creek Reservoir depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 11 ft, 21 ft, 32 ft, 43 ft, 54 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 64 ft. The lake covers about 47.7 square miles, and 2892 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 Cedar Creek Reservoir 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 Cedar Creek Reservoir 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 Cedar Creek Reservoir.
Cedar Creek Reservoir 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 Cedar Creek Reservoir; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Cedar Creek Reservoir 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.
