Grave Lake in Cass County, Minnesota

This map has 8 layers

Grave Lake is a 372-acre natural lake located near Remer in scenic Cass County, featuring exceptionally clear water reaching a maximum depth of 55 feet with 6.2 miles of irregularly shaped shoreline including many bays and points. Classified as a Lake Class 23 water, the DNR notes these lakes are generally very clear, very deep, have a low percentage of shallow water area, and distinctive irregular shorelines with numerous bays creating prime fishing structure. This exceptional fishery is primarily managed for Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike with abundant populations of both species, including pike averaging 19 inches with fish up to 35 inches sampled regularly in surveys. Anglers also enjoy excellent fishing for Bluegill up to 9 inches, Black Crappie, Yellow Perch, Walleye, Pumpkinseed, Rock Bass, multiple bullhead species including Black, Brown, and Yellow Bullhead, plus Bowfin and White Sucker creating a diverse ecosystem. With 132 littoral acres providing prime shallow-water habitat, no aquatic invasive species currently present, and a DNR-owned public boat launch on the northeast shore, the lake is ideal for fishing, boating, water sports, kayaking, swimming, and excellent ice fishing during Minnesota winters

Located near the charming small town of Remer (population under 400) in northern Cass County, approximately 60 miles northwest of Brainerd in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes region surrounded by lush woods and pristine waters. Remer claims fame as home to the world's largest eagle statue and features the historic Thunder Lake Lodge where legendary mobster Al Capone stayed during his vacations to Minnesota in the McCleary Cabin originally built in 1912. The surrounding area offers exceptional outdoor recreation with access to hundreds of pristine Cass County lakes and rivers including Hay, Horseshoe, Island, Mule, and Ponto lakes which share the same Lake Class 23 designation, plus endless opportunities for hunting, fishing, ATV riding, snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing throughout the region's vast forests. Nearby Walker provides additional attractions, dining, and services including Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters and multiple resorts, while the area features extensive trail systems for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling connecting communities throughout northern Minnesota. Visitors can enjoy local dining at The Pub in Remer, stay at Remer Motel & Campground, explore nearby state parks, and experience the quirky charm of this strangest town in the Midwest known for its unusual roadside attractions and northwoods hospitality

This beautifully handcrafted laser-cut wooden topographical map of Grave Lake would make a stunning addition to your northern Minnesota cabin, lake home, or office, celebrating your connection to this crystal-clear Lake Class 23 gem near Remer and Al Capone's historic retreat. The artistic design features a natural wood top layer of maple or birch that perfectly frames the lake's irregularly shaped 372-acre basin with 6.2 miles of intricate shoreline featuring numerous bays and points, while the water depths are represented through a captivating gradient flowing from light blue in the shallow littoral areas to rich deep blue at the impressive 55-foot maximum depth. Every bay, rocky point, depth contour, the public boat launch location on the northeast shore, and distinctive features are precisely laser-etched into the multi-layered wood construction, creating a three-dimensional piece of wall art that beautifully captures the exceptional clarity and abundant largemouth bass and northern pike fishing heritage of this beloved Cass County lake near the world's largest eagle statue

  • 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.
