About Lake Whitney
Lake Whitney was completed in 1951 when the Corps of Engineers finished Whitney Dam on the Brazos River, about 23,500 acres with 225 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 108 feet. Whitney, Hillsboro and Clifton are its towns, an hour south of Fort Worth. The Texas Legislature named the area the state's official 'Getaway Capital' in 2005, and its limestone bluffs and clear coves have made it one of the more scenic lakes on the river.

Lake Whitney depth chart, in wood
This is a Lake Whitney depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 17 ft, 33 ft, 50 ft, 67 ft, 84 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 100 ft. The lake covers about 28.7 square miles, and 1836 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 Whitney 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 Whitney 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 Whitney.
Lake Whitney 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 Whitney; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Lake Whitney 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.
