About O C Fisher Lake
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed O.C. Fisher Dam on the North Concho River in 1952, built primarily to hold back floodwater before it reaches San Angelo downstream. The reservoir sits in Tom Green County just northwest of the city. San Angelo State Park, opened in 1995, occupies land along its shoreline and manages herds of bison, longhorn cattle, and pronghorn on the surrounding range. Anglers work the lake for catfish, crappie, and white bass, while hikers, mountain bikers, and birders use the mesquite flats and trails around the water.
Because the North Concho drains drought-prone West Texas rangeland, the lake's level swings more than most reservoirs its size, and it has dropped to a small fraction of capacity during extended dry stretches before refilling with heavy rain. Boaters and campers plan around those cycles rather than a fixed shoreline. The terrain is flat mesquite rangeland typical of the western Edwards Plateau, and the dam continues to serve its original flood-control purpose for the city and farmland below it.

O C Fisher Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a O C Fisher Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 18 ft, 36 ft, 53 ft, 71 ft, 89 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 107 ft. The lake covers about 11.4 square miles, and 152 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 O C Fisher Lake 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 O C Fisher Lake 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 O C Fisher Lake.
O C Fisher Lake 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 O C Fisher Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. O C Fisher Lake 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.
