Guys I hope this is okay to post in here if not tell me I'll get it removed. 

 

I am looking for topo maps for the local lakes in KC area from Hillsdale, Milford, Perry, Clinton, to La Cynge sized and all the way down to Lake Lenexa, SMP, and others. I just got a fishing kayak, and want to gain as much advanced knowledge as I can. I "think" I have checked out USGS website as much as I can and cant find these. 

 

Any help in tracking these down would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I know that Cabelas and BPS has some of the bigger lakes. Free ones are hard to come by. So is the smaller SFLs. Google search could produce options.

For the SFLs I just look at shoreline contours. And use experience. Sonars help a bunch.

Go to "TOOLS" at the top of the page and from the drop bar select "Interactive Lake Maps". It doesn't have the smaller lakes but you can check out a free topo map of lots of the bigger lakes you've listed. I don't know of anywhere to fine topo maps of those smaller lakes. 

Ive found a couple at the KU ASTRA site when they did sediment study. I printed off ones for Madison City Lake, Polk Daniels, and Eureka City Lake. I havent been able to find the maps again after the study was completef

Click on reservoir, then look at bottom for completed study. In some of the .pdf files you can find some maps

call the ranger stations at each park they might be able to lead you in the right direction also.

If you have access to a smart phone, look up the APP Navionics.  It has really good maps of all north american lakes and rivers.  Works with GPS on your phone to show you right where you are on the lake.

Thanks for all the help guys greatly appreciate it!!

I use the free Navionics WebApp
