The Lakes • Western Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut • Surveyed
Lake Zoar
Where our figure and the state's part: the state's maximum is one sounding and the deepest contour is a line drawn above it; the gap is inside one contour interval (11 ft under a 16 ft interval); a reservoir: the published acreage is the agency's figure at its stated pool and the OpenStreetMap shoreline was traced from imagery at whatever level the water stood; which level is not established (53 acres over).
Every contour on the print is a line the state's surveyors drew; nothing between them is guessed. Pin your dock in the studio and it prints under the name your family uses.
What arrives: the print you set up, drawn at the size you choose, shipped flat or rolled by the printer, or a file the same day for the digital edition.
