I get the Arkansas Outdoors Weekly Newsletter sent to my email from the arkansas game and fish. this was in the newsletter and I thought I would share it with the crappie.com guys and gals. wonder if they will make a new map with this information.

CONWAY - In an effort to understand the depth and lake floor of Lake Conway, Southwestern Energy is conducting a bathymetric study of Lake Conway that will continue through the first week of November. Bathymetry is the study of the bottom contours of a lake.

The purpose of the study is to gather data for the Lake Conway Watershed Study. Data will be collected by research crews walking the perimeter of Lake Conway with Global Positioning System units, as well as boats with sonar equipment. The public will be able to identify the research crew by their bright orange vests that are labeled “Lake Conway Project.”

Software will convert the data into a three-dimensional map that will include the amount of available water (volume), depth profile and bottom features of the lake. Southwestern Energy is conducting the study at no charge to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
