About Lake Pat Cleburne
Lake Pat Cleburne sits on the Nolan River a few miles east of Cleburne, in Johnson County, Texas, roughly 30 miles south of Fort Worth. The city built the reservoir as its municipal water supply, damming the river to back up water across about 1,149 acres with roughly 8 miles of shoreline. It is smaller than the major reservoirs of North Texas but deep enough, at around 41 feet at its deepest, to hold through dry summers. The lake takes its name from the city itself, which was named for Confederate general Patrick Cleburne.
The lake draws bass anglers, and local clubs have run tournaments on it for years, fishing its rocky points and the narrower river arm for largemouth and spotted bass. Houses line much of the shoreline, a mix of older lake cabins and newer construction, with city-run boat ramps and a marina providing access. Because the reservoir also supplies Cleburne's drinking water, the city regulates activity on it, permitting docks and shoreline construction and limiting development in places to protect the water supply.

Lake Pat Cleburne depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Pat Cleburne 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 41 ft. The lake covers about 1.9 square miles. The shape of the bottom is the real one from published soundings, so anglers recognise their drop-offs and points.
A Lake Pat Cleburne 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 Pat Cleburne 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 Pat Cleburne.
Lake Pat Cleburne 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 Pat Cleburne; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Pat Cleburne 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.
