About the Maps

Lakes of Oklahoma maps are designed for both research and utility. The depicted area in each map will vary depending on the size and shape of the lake. For reference, the scale is included on each map (expressed in miles or feet, depending upon lake size). Some recreation features may not have been included due to map scale.

Maps were produced from a variety of datasets, including the National Elevation Dataset (NED), National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) digital ortho-rectified photography, Bureau of Reclamation lake data, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake data, and U.S. Census Bureau Tiger Line Files. Locations of fish attractors were provided by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC). Other agencies that supplied data, either directly or indirectly, include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Forest Service, and the National Parks Service.
