Percy Priest Lake in Davidson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties, Tennessee

This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version

J. Percy Priest Lake is a 14,200-acre reservoir located just 10 miles east of downtown Nashville in north central Tennessee, making it one of the most accessible and popular recreational destinations in the state. Created in 1968 with the completion of the J. Percy Priest Dam on the Stones River, the lake stretches 42 miles and features 213 miles of scenic shoreline surrounded by over 18,800 acres of public lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Named in honor of Congressman James Percy Priest, who represented Nashville and Davidson County until his death in 1956, the reservoir was originally authorized by Congress in 1946 as the Stewarts Ferry Reservoir before being renamed in 1958. Construction flooded the entire town of Old Jefferson, which was demolished in the early 1960s to make way for this vital water resource. The lake reaches a maximum depth of 100 feet near the dam, with an average depth of 29 feet throughout, and the water clarity varies from stained at the upper end to clearer near the dam. Fed by the East and West Forks of the Stones River along with numerous major creeks, Percy Priest Lake offers diverse underwater topography with submerged structures, ridges, drop-offs, and remnants of the old riverbed

Percy Priest Lake is renowned as one of Tennessee's premier fishing destinations, consistently ranked among the best bass and crappie lakes in the state despite heavy fishing pressure from the Nashville metropolitan area's two million residents. The fertile reservoir supports exceptional populations of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, white bass, striped bass, hybrid stripers (Cherokee bass), black and white crappie, catfish, bluegill, and yellow perch. The lake attracts millions of visitors annually to its 34 recreation areas, which include three major campgrounds at Anderson Road, Seven Points, and Poole Knobs, along with 15 public boat ramps, five full-service marinas with nearly 1,800 slips, and numerous day-use areas offering swimming beaches, picnic facilities, and hiking trails. Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort, located just past the dam, features a waterpark with over 20 attractions including wave pools, water slides, and a floating aqua park with 100 obstacles. The lake's proximity to Nashville makes it ideal for combining lakeside recreation with visits to iconic Music City attractions like the Grand Ole Opry, CMA Music Festival, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, and downtown Nashville's vibrant entertainment district. Long Hunter State Park spans over 2,600 acres along the lake's shores, offering more than 30 miles of hiking trails ranging from easy paved paths to rugged routes, the unique Couchville Cedar Glade Natural Area with rare plant species including the Tennessee coneflower, and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities for deer, waterfowl, and numerous bird species

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.
