Lauderdale Lakes in Walworth County, Wisconsin

This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version

Lauderdale Lakes is an 807-acre chain of three interconnected glacial lakes—Green Lake, Middle Lake, and Mill Lake—located in scenic Walworth County in southeastern Wisconsin. Carved during the Last Glacial Period, these pristine lakes feature 16 miles of meandering shoreline dotted with numerous small islands, quiet bays, and crystal-clear waters that reach maximum depths of 60 feet in Green Lake, with Middle and Mill Lakes reaching approximately 50 feet each. Green Lake is the only spring-fed lake in the chain, while Middle and Mill Lakes are characterized as drainage lakes fed primarily by groundwater, precipitation, and runoff. The lakes are named after James Lauderdale, a New York native who moved to the area in 1841 and built the first residential building along the shore in 1842. All water in the system flows through Mill Lake to an outflow on the eastern shore that feeds into Honey Creek. The lakes sit within the town of La Grange, approximately 10 miles from the city of Elkhorn, and maintain excellent water quality classified as mesotrophic, making them one of southeastern Wisconsin's premier lakefront communities

Lauderdale Lakes offers exceptional year-round recreational opportunities for fishing enthusiasts, boaters, and outdoor adventurers. The lakes boast healthy populations of largemouth bass, northern pike, walleye, bluegill, crappie, yellow perch, and smallmouth bass, with spring and fall being particularly productive fishing seasons. Public boat launches are conveniently located on the western shores of Green and Middle Lakes and the eastern shore of Mill Lake, allowing boaters and paddlers to explore the entire 16-mile shoreline system. The area provides easy access to numerous attractions, including the Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit just northwest of the lakes, which covers over 20,000 acres of glacial hills, wooded forests, and features more than 160 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, including sections of the renowned Ice Age Trail. The historic Peterson Island Woods Preserve, a 40-acre natural area situated on a peninsula between Green and Middle Lakes, offers peaceful trails for nature walks and wildlife observation. Located just 15 minutes north of the renowned Lake Geneva resort area with its 5,262 acres of water activities, festivals, concerts, and cruise boats, Lauderdale Lakes provides the perfect blend of tranquil lakeside living and convenient access to southeastern Wisconsin's most popular destinations. Winter activities include ice fishing, snowmobiling, ice skating, and cross-country skiing, while summer brings opportunities for water skiing, swimming, sailing, and golf at the local Mill Lake Country Club with its scenic nine-hole course overlooking the lake

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.
