About Jackson Lake
Jackson Lake is a natural glacial lake in Grand Teton National Park, raised about 39 feet by a dam on the Snake River completed in 1916, roughly 15 miles long and 438 feet deep. The Teton Range rises directly from its west shore with no foothills at all, which is why the view is what it is.
Colter Bay, Signal Mountain and Jackson Lake Lodge are the park's lakeside centers; the Snake leaves the lake at the dam and runs south past Jackson Hole. The lake is named for the trapper David Jackson, one of the founders of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company.

Jackson Lake depth chart, in wood
This is a Jackson Lake depth chart you can hang: 6 stacked layers of birch, each one a depth contour — 73 ft, 146 ft, 219 ft, 292 ft, 365 ft and deeper, down to the deepest hole at about 438 ft. The lake covers about 42.3 square miles, and 54 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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson Lake.
Jackson 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 Jackson Lake; the bigger boards carry more shoreline roads and place names.
Is it made from real depth data?
Yes. Jackson 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.
