Mosquito Creek Lake in Trumbull County, Ohio
This map has 8 layers
Mosquito Creek Lake is a 7,850-acre man-made reservoir in Trumbull County, northeastern Ohio, making it the second-largest inland lake in the state. Completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in April 1944, the lake was created primarily for flood control and streamflow regulation as part of the Flood Control Act of 1938, providing protection for the upper Ohio River, Beaver River, and Mahoning River valley. Fed by Mosquito Creek and Walnut Creek, the reservoir features 40 miles of scenic shoreline and is bisected by the Ohio State Route 88 causeway, which divides the lake into distinct regions. The lake's depth varies significantly by location and season, averaging 8-15 feet overall, with the southern end near the dam reaching depths of 20-25 feet, while the shallow northern end averages just 4-10 feet. Located approximately 6 miles northeast of Warren and near the city of Cortland, the lake sits within a drainage area of 97.4 square miles and features a unique natural spillway system that can reverse outflow into the Grand River during high water conditions.
Mosquito Creek Lake is renowned as one of Ohio's premier fishing destinations, hosting multiple professional bass tournaments and earning national recognition for its exceptional Walleye and Crappie fishing. The lake supports diverse fish populations including Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Bluegill, White and Black Crappie, White Bass, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Yellow Perch, and Ring Perch. The southern portion of the lake, which includes Mosquito Lake State Park operated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, offers extensive recreational facilities including multiple boat ramps, full-service marina, camping with over 200 sites, picnic areas, hiking trails, and dock and watercraft rentals. With no horsepower restrictions on boats (though a 10 mph speed limit applies north of the causeway), the lake is ideal for all water sports including fishing, boating, water skiing, and kayaking. The northern section serves as a designated wildlife refuge where boating and fishing are prohibited, making it an excellent destination for bird watching and observing migratory waterfowl. The presence of invasive Zebra mussels has increased water clarity, allowing aquatic vegetation to thrive and creating excellent fish habitat throughout the reservoir.

- 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.
