Narragansett Bay is New England's largest estuary, covering 147 square miles with 94,080 acres of water spanning primarily Rhode Island with portions extending into southeastern Massachusetts. The bay reaches two-thirds of the way into Rhode Island, stretching 25 miles from north to south and 10 miles at its widest point, featuring over 30 islands including the three largest—Aquidneck Island, Conanicut Island, and Prudence Island. Narragansett Bay is composed of three interconnected north-south passages: the West Passage with an average depth of 33 feet, the East Passage (Providence River) with an average depth of 121 feet and a maximum depth of 188 feet, and the Sakonnet River passage with an average depth of 25 feet. The bay contains over 700 billion gallons of water with an overall mean depth of 29 feet and boasts 256 miles of scenic shoreline including island shores. Fed by major rivers including the Taunton, Pawtuxet, Blackstone, and Providence Rivers, the bay receives approximately 2.1 million gallons of freshwater daily from its 1,853-square-mile watershed. Rhode Island's capital city of Providence sits at the northernmost arm of the bay, while the seaside towns of Narragansett and Newport grace its shores
Narragansett Bay serves as a designated estuary of national significance and unparalleled beauty, functioning as an expansive natural harbor that has shaped the region's maritime history and economy for centuries. The bay provides critical spawning grounds, nursery habitat, and year-round home for more than 60 species of fish and shellfish including winter flounder, lobster, hard shell clams, striped bass, and commercial species, along with habitat for over 200 bird species and numerous marine mammals. The bay experiences semi-diurnal tides with two high and low tides daily, ranging from 3.6 feet at the bay's mouth near Rhode Island Sound to 4.6 feet at its head. Rich in maritime history, Narragansett Bay was the site of the famous 1772 Gaspee Affair when colonists captured and burned the British customs schooner, an important event that propelled the American colonies toward revolution. Today, the bay attracts over 100,000 fishermen annually and hosts more than 32,000 recreational boats, welcoming 20 million visitors each year who contribute billions of dollars to the regional economy. The bay offers world-class recreational opportunities including sailing, kayaking, fishing, swimming at renowned beaches, and wildlife viewing, with portions of the north shore providing access to the Superior National Forest. Bodies of water that comprise the greater Narragansett Bay system include Mount Hope Bay, the Sakonnet River, and the southern tidal portion of the Taunton River, all connecting seamlessly to create one of the Atlantic coast's most productive and historically significant estuarine ecosystems

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.
