NY State Lakes
A Morphomeric Atlas of Selected Lakes
Vol. 4
Regions 1,2,&3
Can be obtained by writing to the DEC in Albany NY 12233
It cast about $5
What you get is a book of depth contour maps for selected (that's to say not
ALL the lakes) lakes in Nassau, Suffolk, Bronx, Kings, NY, Queens, Dutchess,
Putnam, Rockland Sullivan, Ulster, & Westchester counties.
These maps are old and not always accurate. Thing is for about half of the
small lake in the book these are the ONLY maps I have ever found. So if you
fish place like Mohansic, or Canopus,
Hessian, its well worth the 5 bucks

If I remember correctly, I just emailed the DEC and someone got back to me asking for my address. It may have taken one or two emails though to get the initial response. Don't remember the $5.00, but it is probably worth it.
Posted by Charlie on 2002 AM:
The maps are free, but it
helps the DEC if you pay for the postage. $5.00 is nothing when you consider
the information you can get.
ALL DEC offices have the books. Call Gregg or Chart at (631) 444-0280 for more
information.
Tight Lines!

Charlie there are 2 types
of map books out there. There is the one the DEC hands out, and there is one
that you can buy from the DEC. The one you can buy from the DEC has more lakes,
and covers a wider area. You can also buy them for other regions. I happen to
have books from 5 out of the 9 regions in the state.

there is also a book
called Southern New York Fishing Directory I bought it at Dick's Sporting Goods
it has about 120 maps to different lakes in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Dutchess,
Orange, Ulster, and Sullivan Counties in addition it also has State and County
Park Maps EX. Harriman State Park ...........
It is a good book for the upstate fisherman !

EFederlein, Jack Stewart puts out that book. He copies the maps from the same atlas. but with all the other stuff he puts in it's worth the $10.
