Anyone know of where to get a topo map for Mauch Chunk Lake

Featured Replies

Hey Fellas: where do i get a good topo of the Chunk in PA?

I got my Mauch Chunk Lake map many many years ago at Four Seasons Sporting Goods in Jim Thorpe, PA.  It was a 8 x  17 photocopy topo map of limited quality, and I don't even know where I have it any more.  You might want to give them a call and see if they have any.  If not, I'll go through the basement (Yes Muddy, I even have fishing stuff in the basement, because the garage isn't big enough LOL) and see if I can find it amongst the old fishing archives.

Muddy....when this season finally rolls around, you need to tell those kids to cool it!!!!  Tell 'em, no fighting until we get done fishing.

I am getting on that lake this year, come hell or high water!!!!  LOL

Muddy !  A TOPO??? WHAT?  Do you mean a "HYDROGRAPHIC " map?

You can down load topographic maps online today. The only topo that will show whats under the water is a original topo before the lake was made or a hydro that shows how the lake contours look under water. Can't help you yet > My company has not yet expanded NE. When we do I'll do that lake ( Structure detail it ).

Thats what I want to see the original creeks and roads, beore impoundment

I'am able to do that if its worth the info to my mapping. Many lakes (manmade) have removed the original road bed and excavated the area. So what 's left does not represent the original except areas of flooded farmland. This is the time a hydro is made if its ever released to the public. Every  State Park has a copy and infact every waterway I've done has a hydro in save keeping of someones office. The only nice thing about maps before a lake is created  is that I can spot non tillable land and that means HARD  rock base.  Oh well ! just thought I share that wth you.

Thank you for your input. The problem I am having is it is a 339 acre, flood control impoundment that is a County not State park :-/

How about I drop you a e-mail? that is . if you are still muddy man320

Assuming your e-mail is still the same as it is on your profile.
