Columbia River in Washington and Oregon
This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
The Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest, serving as a massive 1,243-mile waterway that defines much of the border between Washington and Oregon. Within the United States, the river is a complex system of massive reservoirs and free-flowing stretches, covering approximately 258,000 acres of surface area. It is a powerhouse of the American West, home to the Grand Coulee Dam and numerous other hydroelectric projects that provide carbon-free energy to millions. Beyond its industrial utility, the river is world-renowned for its dramatic scenery, particularly through the Columbia River Gorge, where basalt cliffs rise sharply from the water’s edge. This region is a global destination for windsurfing, kiteboarding, and hiking, offering unparalleled views of the Cascade Range
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Columbia River offers a diverse and legendary fishery, most famous for its annual runs of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Steelhead. Anglers from around the world visit the river’s mouth near Astoria or the many tributaries to participate in these historic migrations. The river also supports significant populations of Oversized White Sturgeon and Smallmouth Bass. Cultural and historical sites abound along the 1,620 miles of shoreline, including landmarks from the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the ancient fishing grounds of the Celilo Falls area. Whether you are exploring the bustling waterfronts of Portland and Vancouver or the rugged wilderness of the upper reaches, the Columbia River remains a majestic symbol of the rugged beauty of the Great Northwest

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.
Cribbage Boards - 10"x14" - Your choice of Maple or Cherry wood, 2 or 3 runs, and your choice of peg colors.

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.
