Lake Mapping in Tennessee

Lake & reservoir mapping in Tennessee

Tennessee's TVA reservoirs are famous for bass and crappie fishing and for aggressive hydrilla. We map vegetation, structure and depth so agencies and marinas can plan with confidence.

Tennessee has more than 500,000 acres of TVA and Corps reservoirs. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the state — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
