Lake Volume Analysis

GPS Lake Mapping Accurately Accounts for Current Water Capacity

It is critical to know the exact acreage and depth range of your lake to make sound management decisions.  Precision GPS lake mapping conducted by The Mapping Network utilizes highly accurate procedures and equipment for data collection.  Utilizing sub-foot accurate GPS units and hydro-acoustic depth-sounding equipment, our team logs data points for extremely accurate location mapping.  Hydro-acoustic depth sounding equipment measures depth with unparalleled accuracy.  Our clients are able to accurately understand how much water is available in their lake at any number of water levels.  Best of all, this information is up-to-date and can be customized to any requirement.  Need to know how many gallons of water are available when the lake is at full pool?  How about if the water level is down 5, 10, or 15 feet?  We can even calculate the amount of water in certain depth ranges (example: volume for 5 to 6 feet).  Current, accurate results are our specialty.

A GPS Bathymetric Lake Map and Volume Analysis by The Mapping Network will help optimize your efforts to manage your lake or pond.

Sediment Problems in Your Lake? Start With a Lake Map!

Save Significant Money on Dredging Projects with The Mapping Network

The Mapping Network recently completed a mapping project for a large-scale home owners association in Arkansas. The large lake had 21 coves and several homeowners were having difficulties accessing their dock due to sedimentation. Here were some of the questions the HOA management team had:

- where is the highest sedimentation occurring?
- how much fluffy sediment (in cubic yards) is in each cove?
- if the lake is drawn down 5 ft, what would the shoreline look like?
- how much water (gallons and acre-ft) is in the lake?
- if we make each cove a minimum of 4 feet deep for boat access how much material do we need to remove?
- by undertaking this mapping process will it save us money in the end?

The overall goal of the lake mapping project was to survey each cove for future dredging along with the creation of an accurate map of the entire lake. The lake had 21 coves and The Mapping Network collected water depths over the entire lake and fluffy sediment levels for all areas under 10 feet of water.

3D models were generated to show how much sediment had accumulated in each cove. Contour maps were also made for each cove and given to the lake manager and engineer to review for dredging planning. The Mapping Network then created cut-fill calculations and maps based on the specifications of the lake manager. The HOA then used this information as part of the bid package given to dredging companies. Presenting the precise plans took out the guess work and kept all the dredging contractors on task and it is projected to save the HOA an estimated $5,000-$12,000 per cove! An incredible cost savings when compiled over 21 coves.

In the example maps below, The Mapping Network located the areas where the current depth was less than four feet, which was the dredging zone. The mapping techniques utilized in this project helped the HOA accurately calculate and isolate areas of high sedimentation for removal and helped the property manager budget accordingly.

The bottom line - This powerful information allows for smart management and planning decisions and will serve as a baseline for future projects. A great value!

MLS#: 61320

$8,585,000

59653 MORGAN LAKE ROAD LA GRANDE OR 97850

Elk Song Ranch comprises 7198+/- contiguous, deeded acres in the Blue Mountains. It is located four miles west of La Grande Oregon. La Grande population is 12,000; with a university, hospital, major grocery chains and an airport that can accommodate most corporate aircraft. The luxury of these nearby amenities is enhanced by the fact that Elk Song begins behind the locked gate at the end of the county road and its boundaries are surrounded by private property. The area to the west and south of the ranch consists of hundreds of square miles of private land and national forest without significant population or paved roads. For the past 14 years the ranch has been managed for the benefit of its wildlife and natural resources. The most extraordinary features of the ranch are its namesake, the wild, free-ranging elk. They are resident on the ranch from March to December and it is expected and normal to see several hundred a day. The largest count in one day was over 3500. It is also normal to see 50 or more branch antlered bulls in a day. Hunting success over the last 14 years is over 95%. In addition to the elk the ranch is home to many other game birds and animals including: bear, turkey, deer, grouse, doves, quail. Elk Song is in essence a 7198+/- acre private game reserve and virtual wilderness in an area referred to as the Serengeti by Oregon Game Biologists due to its immense game populations. The terrain of the ranch is diverse with approximately 4000 acres of timber land, 12 miles of flowing streams, large open meadows, dense thickets and deep canyons. The elevation varies from 3500 to 5000 feet, with a network of grassy logging roads that accommodate ATVs throughout the ranch. Main roads allow 4wd vehicle access to most areas. There are nine stock ponds that hold water year round and dozens of live springs.

Garrett Zoller: Growing up in Southern Oregon, I have thrived on the great outdoors. Water skiing, snowmobiling, upland bird and big game hunting, and fishing the Rogue River has brought me much happiness. Throughout high school and college, I faired well in football and wrestling while obtaining my Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration and a minor in Criminology. Since graduation, I have owned a small business, as well as invested and worked in real estate; I married my college sweetheart, and we are currently raising our three children. Luxurious get-a-ways are not for us! Our familys first-choice escapes are the mountains, rivers and lakes of Oregon to the sandy beaches of the Oregon coast. My hands-on experience with recreational, agricultural, and timber properties combined with my expert knowledge of the state, provides valuable information to my clients in search of that perfect place. I value the opportunity to attend to your real estate needs. Teaming with Cabelas Trophy Properties is the ideal match for me and the Beaver State.

GPS Lake Map Isolates Fishing Hot Spots

Possessing an accurate map of your lake is a great asset to your fishing success. Greg Grimes with Aquatic Environmental Services, Inc., recently completed a GPS lake mapping project for a client in Georgia. This is a master planned lake designed specifically for growing trophy large-mouth bass. Extensive habitat structure, ridges, brush, feeders, etc were carefully placed during construction. Once the lake was full the client had the lake mapped utilizing The Mapping Network’s lake mapping technology to reveal this unseen, underwater world. Combining sub-foot accurate equipment and depth accuracies of up to 1/10th of a foot, the resulting maps provided a picture of the bottom of the lake. Mr. Grimes was able to provide a map highlighting the ideal fishing zones in the range of 4 feet to 16 feet deep at 1 foot intervals. This lake map shows the angler exactly where the fishing hot spots are located on the lake. If you are serious about managing a trophy fishery in your lake contact one of our lake mapping partners to provide the expertise to make it happen!
