Mississippi River Pool 6 in Wisconsin and Minnesota

This map has 8 layers

Mississippi River Pool 6 is an extensive 22,000-acre navigation pool on the Upper Mississippi River, stretching from Lock and Dam 6 near Trempealeau, Wisconsin, upstream toward Winona, Minnesota. Formed as part of the 9-foot navigation channel project, this immense aquatic resource spans the border between Trempealeau County, WI, and Winona County, MN. While the main navigation channel maintains a depth of at least 9 feet for commercial traffic, the pool encompasses a vast complex of diverse habitats, including deep water, shallow backwater lakes, and extensive wetlands, all set against a backdrop of dramatic limestone bluffs

As a central component of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, Pool 6 is globally recognized for its ecological importance and is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is a critical corridor along the Mississippi Flyway, providing spectacular birding opportunities, notably during the migration of bald eagles and thousands of tundra swans. Nearby attractions like Perrot State Park in Wisconsin and the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge offer hiking trails and scenic overlooks of the river valley. Year-round recreational activities include exceptional fishing for Walleye and Bass, as well as canoeing and kayaking through the tranquil backwaters and sloughs

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.
