Indiana lake depth maps
Lawrence Lake depth map
Lawrence Lake in Marshall County, Indiana reaches a depth of 25 feet. Lawrence Lake is charted here across 5 closed depth contours, from the 5 ft line down to 25 ft, enclosing about 41 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 25 ft line, and only 28 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

| Depth contour | Water inside it | Share of mapped water |
|---|---|---|
| 5 ft | 41 acres | 100% |
| 10 ft | 35 acres | 86% |
| 15 ft | 32 acres | 80% |
| 20 ft | 30 acres | 74% |
| 25 ft | 28 acres | 68% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 41 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 5 ft line), which is the outer edge of the mapped water, several state files carry no 0 ft shoreline line, so this is not the same as a share of the lake's published surface area.
Fishing Lawrence Lake: steep sides for its size
Inside its outermost 5 ft contour the survey charts about 41 acres of Lawrence Lake, with the 25 ft line enclosing half of it, so the bottom holds its depth well out from the bank rather than tapering off a long shallow margin. The sharpest change on the chart is between 5 and 10 ft, where the mapped water loses 6 acres in 5 ft of depth, that band is the contour to work first, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. 28 acres, 68% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 25 ft contour, toward the middle of the lake. Topping out at 25 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 28-acre deep spot still concentrates fish in the heat of summer, and the one-contour depressions on the chart are the ones most anglers row straight over.
Ice fishing on Lawrence Lake
A shallow lake like Lawrence Lake is usually among the first to make safe ice, and once the weed beds die back the fish have very little deep water to spread into: just 28 acres inside the 25 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 41-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Lawrence Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Lawrence Lake?
- Lawrence Lake reaches a maximum depth of 25 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 5 closed depth contours over about 41 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 25 ft line.
- Where is the deepest part of Lawrence Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Lawrence Lake lies inside the 25 ft contour, toward the middle of the lake. That contour encloses 28 acres, 68% of the mapped water, so it is a broad slice of the bottom rather than a pinpoint target, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.
- How much of Lawrence Lake is shallower than 25 feet?
- About half. The 25 ft contour encloses 28 acres of the roughly 41 acres inside the outer 5 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 25 feet. The sharpest drop is between 5 and 10 feet, where the mapped water sheds 6 acres.
- How accurate is this Lawrence Lake depth map?
- The contours come from the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey, retrieved August 2026 and last rebuilt on August 19, 2026. Depths change over time with water levels and sediment, so treat this map as a planning guide for fishing, and never use it for navigation. Per Indiana DNR, the data are graphical representations for reference only, not a survey instrument. Acreages are computed from the published contour geometry, not from a separate area survey, so read them as close approximations.
