Not for navigation
These depth contours are for deciding where to fish, not for running a boat. No depth map we show — whatever agency surveyed it — is a nautical chart, and none of them will show you a shoal. Do not navigate by this map.

Lake-scale depth — not for navigation
These contours are drawn every 20 metres of depth, from a 1:250,000-scale compilation. That is enough to read Lake Michigan's basins, shelf and major drop-offs — it is not enough to pick a spot off a hump, a rock pile or an inside turn the way a state DNR lake survey is.
Depth data is NOAA NCEI's Great Lakes bathymetry, compiled from historical soundings and provided as-is. Do not navigate by it — it is not a nautical chart and it will not show you a shoal.
