Crowley Lake in Mono County, California
This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
Crowley Lake is a 5,300-acre high-desert reservoir on the upper Owens River in Mono County, California, sitting at 6,781 feet elevation and stretching 12 miles long by 5 miles wide with 45 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 100 feet. Created in 1941 by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's Long Valley Dam, the lake is one of the finest trout fisheries in the Eastern Sierra, renowned for exceptional populations of Rainbow, Brown, and Cutthroat Trout — drawing up to 10,000 anglers on opening day alone. Fed by the Upper Owens River, McGee, Convict, Hilton, and Crooked Creeks, Crowley's nutrient-rich alkaline water fuels prolific midge and chironomid hatches that make it a world-class destination for stillwater fly fishing.
Located 15 miles south of Mammoth Lakes and just over 20 miles north of Bishop on US-395, Crowley Lake anchors one of California's most spectacular outdoor corridors in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. The surrounding landscape — shaped 760,000 years ago by massive volcanic eruptions — features dramatic geological formations including the iconic 20-foot tufa columns on the lake's northeast shore. Nearby attractions include Convict Lake, Hot Creek Geological Site, the Mammoth Lakes Basin, and Mono Lake, all easily accessible from this iconic High Sierra crossroads.
A laser-cut wooden map of Crowley Lake makes a bold and breathtaking piece of wall art for any Eastern Sierra cabin, mountain retreat, or fly fishing enthusiast's home. The natural wood top layer traces the dramatic, sprawling outline of this iconic High Desert reservoir across all 45 miles of its rugged shoreline in stunning detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers capture the lake's impressive depth and wide-open character. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Eastern Sierra anglers, Mammoth Lakes regulars, and anyone who treasures this legendary stretch of California's High Desert.

The difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers. Standard maps have 1 land layer and 7 water layers. The HD lake maps have 1 land layer and 14 water layers. So twice the detail. The HD Maps are limited to Extra Large, XX Large, and Gigantic sizes only. On the smaller sizes the depth change of the wood is too extreme and you end up losing detail.
