The Great Lakes are the largest system of freshwater lakes on earth — holding nearly 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water and stretching 750 miles across the heart of North America. They have shaped the history, economy, and identity of every community on their shores, from the iron ore ports of Lake Superior to the urban waterfronts of Erie and Ontario. Whether your connection to the Great Lakes is a lifetime of fishing, a childhood at a shoreline cottage, or simply a love of water on a scale that defies imagination — our handcrafted 3D wooden lake maps capture every depth contour and coastline in precision laser-cut wood, made to order by a Minnesota veteran in Stacy, MN. Ships in 1 to 2 weeks.

The Great Lakes & Key Waterways

• Lake Superior — The largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, Lake Superior stretches 350 miles across the borders of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ontario. Cold, deep, and staggeringly vast, Superior is a place of raw natural power — legendary shipwrecks, remote wilderness shorelines, and water so clear it feels like a different world. The crown jewel of the Great Lakes system and one of the most iconic maps in our entire catalog.
• Lake Michigan — The only Great Lake lying entirely within the United States, Lake Michigan stretches 307 miles along the borders of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. From the Chicago skyline to the Sleeping Bear Dunes to the Door County peninsula, Lake Michigan is one of the most culturally and scenically rich bodies of water in North America — and a map that every Midwesterner will recognize instantly.
• Lake Huron — The second largest of the Great Lakes by surface area, Lake Huron spans the Michigan-Ontario border with over 30,000 islands — including Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world. A deeply maritime lake with a rich history of shipping, fishing, and Indigenous culture along both shores.
• Lake Erie — The shallowest and warmest of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie forms the border between Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario. A world-famous walleye factory and one of the most productive sport fisheries in North America — the map is instantly recognizable to anyone who's spent time on the water along the south shore.
• Lake Ontario — The smallest of the Great Lakes by surface area and the most easterly, Lake Ontario stretches between New York and Ontario with Toronto on its northern shore and the Niagara River feeding it from the west. A legendary salmon and trout fishery with some of the most productive tributary rivers in North America.
• Lake Saint Clair — Connecting Lake Huron to Lake Erie between Michigan and Ontario, Lake Saint Clair is a world-famous smallmouth bass and muskie fishery with a devoted following on both sides of the international border. The shallow, reef-studded basin and complex channel system make for one of the most distinctive and technically fascinating maps in our Great Lakes collection.
• Green Bay — Wisconsin. The largest bay of the Great Lakes, Green Bay extends 118 miles southward from Lake Michigan into the heart of northeastern Wisconsin. A legendary walleye and perch fishery and the namesake of one of the most storied franchises in American sports — a map with deep meaning for anyone from Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula.
• Apostle Islands and Chequamegon Bay — Lake Superior, Wisconsin. An archipelago of 21 pristine islands jutting into the cold waters of Lake Superior off the Bayfield Peninsula, the Apostle Islands are one of the most dramatic and beautiful lake destinations in the country. The map captures the full island chain and the sweeping arc of Chequamegon Bay — a stunning piece for anyone who has paddled, sailed, or explored this extraordinary corner of the Great Lakes.
