Madison Lakes Chain Map
The Yahara River strings Madison’s lakes into a single working system, and this map treats them that way instead of as separate puddles on separate sheets. Mapping Specialists built the water with a shaded three-dimensional rendering of the lake bottom, so drop-offs, humps, and deep holes read at a glance rather than requiring you to count contour lines.
- Visual 3D representation of the lake bottom across the chain
- Boat launch locations marked
- Rock areas identified, the hard structure that holds fish
- Vegetation beds shown, useful for weedline patterns
- Land area rendered in high resolution aerial imagery, not flat generic fill
- Published by Mapping Specialists
Map Shop finishes it to order: paper, satin-gloss lamination for wet-erase planning notes, mounted on foam core if you want to push pins into a spot, or wood rails and frames in black or walnut molding.
It earns wall space in a Dane County lake house, a guide service office, a boathouse, or a Madison bait shop.
