Developed by Maine DEP Geographic Information System (GIS) wizard, Doug Suitor, the new maps provide lots of useful information, including the following:
Improved shoreline accuracy (based on aerial photography)
Location of deep stations marked, with coordinates shown in decimal degrees
Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife lake-wide depth data
Surrounding roads and road names
Total lake surface acreage
Page number where the lake can be found in the DeLorme Maine Atlas & Gazeteer
MIDAS number (unique identification number for the lake; used on all VLMP field forms)
Expected date of availability is January 1, 2015. The new lake maps will be available on both the VLMP and Lakes of Maine web sites.  Click on the ‘Search for Your Lake’ button to access the maps.
