Lake and mountain wall art
Design your lake or mountain
Any mountain in the world, or thousands of surveyed lakes, drawn line by line from real elevation and depth data.
Your lake or mountain, line by line
A contour map print draws a single mountain or lake as rings of equal height or depth. Mountains are traced from elevation data, so any named peak in the world works. Lakes are drawn from depth surveys published by state agencies and the USGS, so every line on the poster comes from a real measurement.
Search the place by name or state, then choose a colorway, how fine or bold the lines are, and a caption: the name, where it is, its depth or height, the coordinates, and a line of your own.

Common questions about contour map prints
Why can't I find my lake?
Lake depths only exist where someone has surveyed the lake bottom and published the results. We include every lake from the states that publish their surveys, and add more as new data becomes available. Mountains work anywhere.
How accurate are the lines?
Every line comes from a published survey or elevation dataset. Lake lines follow the depth survey for that lake, and mountain lines follow elevation data smoothed slightly so they print as clean curves.
Why is my mountain drawn as a circle?
A peak that rises less than about 400 feet above the ridge it sits on has no outline of its own, so we draw the ground around its summit as a round topographic portrait instead.
Can I change the depth or height shown?
Yes. The depth or height is filled in from the data, and you can edit it, hide it, or hide the coordinates. The name, location line and your own line are all editable too.
