Vintage style Lake Maps

Click to Enlarge

I have been painting vintage style river, lake, and bay maps for the last six years. I call them treasured maps because most folks have that special body of water that they treasure. Leo Lakes vintage style maps make great gifts for the lake house owner, lake lover, or fisherman. 

I painted this custom lake map of Long Lake located in Wisconsin. Long Lake is located in Washburn County and is 3,300 acres in size. It's name is true to its length, being 19 miles long. The lake was carved out by glaciers millions of years ago. It's a beautiful clear lake with miles of undeveloped shoreline, pristine bays and nice gravel beaches. 

Not only are walleyes common, but large and small mouth bass, crappie, blue gill, and northern pike are too. You will find much wildlife/waterfowl around the lake such as eagles, osprey, cranes, otter, beaver and my favorite, loons. In fact, I added a couple of loons on the map along with fish, canadian Geese, and an osprey. Interesting, I always hide a tiny mermaid to the waters of all my lake map paintings that folks love to search for.
