Banks Lake in Grant and Douglas Counties, Washington

This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version

Banks Lake is a spectacular 26,888-acre reservoir stretching 27 miles through the upper Grand Coulee of north-central Washington State, featuring 135 miles of dramatic shoreline flanked by towering basalt cliffs, talus slopes, and arid scabland terrain carved by the catastrophic Glacial Lake Missoula floods of the last Ice Age. Formed as part of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Columbia Basin Project and filled with water pumped uphill from Lake Roosevelt behind Grand Coulee Dam, Banks Lake is one of Washington's premier multi-species fisheries. Anglers pursue Walleye — the lake's signature species — along with Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Lake Whitefish, Kokanee, Yellow Perch, Black Crappie, Bluegill, Burbot, and Channel Catfish across nine public boat launches and miles of accessible shoreline

Banks Lake runs along Washington State Highway 155 between Coulee City to the south and Electric City and Grand Coulee to the north, placing it within easy reach of Grand Coulee Dam — the largest hydroelectric facility in the United States — which offers free tours and a nightly laser light show. Steamboat Rock State Park, a 5,043-acre crown jewel of the region, features a massive 800-foot basalt butte rising directly from the lake's surface and offers camping, swimming, boating, hiking, and breathtaking 360-degree views of the coulee country. The surrounding landscape of Channeled Scablands, 23 reservoir islands, and the ancient Dry Falls — once the world's largest waterfall — make the Banks Lake corridor one of the most geologically extraordinary settings in all of North America

A laser-cut wooden map of Banks Lake makes an awe-inspiring and truly distinctive piece of wall art for any Pacific Northwest home, cabin, or outdoor enthusiast's space. The natural wood top layer traces every dramatic inlet, peninsula, and island of this sweeping 135-mile shoreline with stunning precision, while the light-to-dark blue gradient water layers capture the reservoir's depth and grandeur in extraordinary detail. Whether displayed above a fireplace, in a great room, or at a lakeside retreat, this handcrafted map is a breathtaking tribute to one of Washington State's most iconic and geologically remarkable bodies of water

Dimensions:

Small: 8"x12"

Medium: 12"x18"

Large: 16"x24"

Extra Large: 20"x30"

XX Large: 24"x36"

Gigantic 30"x45"

HD Extra Large: 20"x30" - 15 Layers

HD XX Large: 24"x36" - 15 Layers

HD Gigantic 30"x45" - 15 Layers

The difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers. Standard maps have 1 land layer and 7 water layers. " The HD lake maps have 1 land layer and 14 water layers. So twice the detail. The HD Maps are limited to Extra Large, " XX Large, and Gigantic sizes only. On the smaller sizes the depth change of the wood is too extreme and you end up losing detail."

About our Maps

Every map is designed and built in Minnesota. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is imported.

  • Designed in-house. All art files are created by me, not purchased or reused
  • True layered 3D construction. Not engraved or printed
  • More layers, more detail. Most competitors use 3 to 7 layers. These use 8 or 15 layers
  • Original blue depth gradient. Light to dark blue shows water depth clearly
  • Handmade hardwood frames. Built from locally sourced rough sawn lumber, not pre-made frames

These are built to be the most accurate and most detailed 3D lake maps available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these actually 3D or just engraved?

These are true 3D layered maps.

  • Made from 1/8 inch Baltic birch
  • Standard maps have 8 layers. 1 land layer and 7 water layers
  • HD maps have 15 layers. 1 land layer and 14 water layers

Each water layer uses a light to dark blue gradient so depth changes are easy to see.

Where are these made?

Everything is made in my shop in Minnesota.

  • Design
  • Cutting
  • Painting
  • Assembly
  • Frame building

The frames start as locally sourced rough sawn hardwood and are built from scratch.

Do you use real depth data?

Yes, as an angler and map nerd, accuracy matters to me. I use multiple data sources, up to six, to find the most accurate lake contours available.

I would not hang an inaccurate map in my house and I will not send one to yours.

Why buy from Horn Dog Maps instead of Etsy or marketplace sellers?

Most marketplace sellers:

  • Buy pre-made cut files, often from overseas
  • Have no connection to the lakes
  • Cannot verify accuracy
  • Have long delays if a file is not available

This leads to lower accuracy and longer lead times, often 6 to 8 weeks.

Because I design everything myself:

  • I can create a new lake mockup in about 30 minutes
  • You get a more accurate map, faster

What is your lead time?

Most orders ship in 1.5 to 2 weeks depending on the time of year.

Tell me about the Cribbage Boards

These are different from the layered maps and are not something you will find elsewhere.

  • Made from a solid piece of Maple or Cherry
  • The lake is engraved as if drained
  • Then filled with blue tinted epoxy that is still transparent

You can see:

  • Channels
  • Humps
  • Points
  • Structure

Additional features:

  • 2 or 3 track options
  • Choice of peg colors
  • Hidden peg storage with a magnetic dovetail slider
  • Rubber feet so it does not slide on the table

It is a functional game board and a detailed lake model in one.
