More than 120 state-of-the-art lake contour maps,
including 60 that were recently added, are now available free on the North
Dakota Game and Fish Department website at discovernd.com/gnf.
These high-tech colored maps, including Devils Lake, and newly added
mid-sized reservoirs such as Heart Butte and Jamestown Reservoir, are
featured in “ Lake Contour Maps” under the “Map Services/GIS” link.
New maps are available in large and small sizes. Large maps show contour
lines, man-made features such as boat ramps, roads and camping areas, and
surrounding terrain taken from aerial photographs. Small maps show the same
details except surrounding terrain.
Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print maps. Maps are saved
in PDF format.
Not all of the contour maps available on the website are high-tech.
Another 70 are of the older version – black-and-white maps that lack special
features of the new maps. Fisheries personnel continue to map these lakes to
make updated versions.
