Lake Mapping in Wisconsin

Lake & reservoir mapping in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's lake districts and associations file aquatic plant management plans that require current vegetation data. Our biovolume and depth surveys are built for that process.

Wisconsin has more than 15,000 lakes. 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.
