About Lake LBJ
Lake LBJ on the Colorado River northwest of Austin is a constant-level lake of about 6,500 acres and 90 feet, created by Wirtz Dam in 1951 and renamed for Lyndon Johnson in 1965 — his ranch was upstream and he kept a house on the shore. Horseshoe Bay, Kingsland and Granite Shoals are its towns.
- 16 shore towns named, with a star on each
- 1,128 roads engraved around the shore, 2 of them labeled
- 6 depth layers, each step engraved with its depth in feet

Lake LBJ depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake LBJ depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 12 ft, 24 ft, 37 ft, 49 ft, 61 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 73 ft. The lake covers about 8.0 square miles, and 1128 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 LBJ 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 LBJ 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 LBJ.
Lake LBJ 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 LBJ; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake LBJ 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.
