Little Bow Reservoir Bathymetric Chart | Alberta Fishing Depth Map

Target key underwater structure and navigate southern Alberta’s popular irrigation body with the official Little Bow Reservoir Bathymetric Chart. Located in Township 14, Range 20, W4 (Vulcan County), Little Bow Reservoir—often called Little Bow Lake—is a prime destination for walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch angling, as well as camping and water sports. This high-precision color depth map translates complex underwater bathymetry into clear spatial data, giving boaters and anglers a distinct tactical advantage on the water.

Much like a terrestrial topographic map reveals land contours, this bathymetric chart illustrates underwater depth gradients, shallow shoreline flats, submerged islands, drop-offs, and deep basin pockets. Rendered at a detailed 1:10,000 scale with 1.0-meter contour intervals, it details the reservoir's 21.93-kilometer shoreline and maximum depth of 12.2 meters, taking the guesswork out of finding productive fish holding zones.

• Detailed 1.0m Depth Contours: High-contrast color gradient shading paired with 1.0-meter contour lines highlights shallow littoral zones (red/orange) down to deep basin trenches (dark blue/purple) reaching 12.2 meters.

• Complete Lake Morphometry Data: Includes technical metrics detailing surface area (578.77 hectares), volume (22,302.26 cubic decametres), shoreline length (21.93 km), maximum length (4.26 km), maximum width (2.33 km), mean depth (3.86 m), and elevation (852.77 m).

• Access & Infrastructure: Prominently marks public boat launch access points, shorelines derived from orthophoto imagery, dam structures, and adjacent canal inlets.

• Fisheries & Angling Optimization: Essential physical reference for trolling shallow weed edges, casting submerged points, vertical jigging walleye, and locating winter ice-fishing structure.

• Geospatial & Hydrological Precision: Features complete DLS grid location details (Twp 14, Rge 20, W4), a full Colour/Depth Scale table, a 1.0 km scale bar, and an Area/Capacity Curve graph.

Whether trolling open water during summer or setting up ice shelters over mid-lake drop-offs in winter, this bathymetric depth map is an indispensable physical guide for exploring Little Bow Reservoir.
