This is probably useless but I will give it a shot. Anyone have a map showing anything close to showing contours in Darbonne Lake. I have contacted USGS, Lake Commission, and DOT. USGS said they never made a hydrographic survey. Lake Commission pointed me to DOT. DOT said he would try to find an old "pre-flooded" map. No dice. Looks like I may be out of luck...
I got one from LWFD in the 70's when I was fishing Bass Tournaments. I think I canned all of the old maps , but i will look tonight when I get home.
The only place that I know where you can find a map that union parish have of darbonne is on east water st. the street is behind Anderson bait shop first street on the left at the usgs brick building on the right. its not a topo map.john
Thanks Pej. I really appreciate you looking into that. That would be really cool. Maybe I could get it scanned if you don't have a scanner. Let me know. I'm sure some of the contour has changed slightly but it is better than nothing. Thank you john. I can get regular maps with no prob. I wonder why USGS never hydrographed that lake?
i have a blue print of lake darbone when it drawn up by ford backon and davis,it not what u nee but u might like to look at it. it has old ponds@roads sawdust pile from saw mill things like that
Thanks brick. I don't think I would really use it but I do appreciate your input. I guess as far as historical people it would be great.
wish i could help sorry
A couple of years ago someone in the Monroe area had an album of areial photos taken when the lake was drawn down several feet. They gave a lot of detail if you don't know anything about the lake........not sure if they are still available, but you might check at Honey Hole or Toledo Tackle to see if they know who the vendor was.........I do remember they were on the "pricey" side.
Ok B&M thanks for the info.

Navionics.com - Then go to Chart Viewer - Zoom in on the lake.
Wow! After eight years we have something hehehe! Thank you for the link!
I Printed up copies of the Contours from 33 south to the dam. it is easy to study and shows that the regular maps sold of the lake have things incorrect and in the wrong locations.. I wished I had printed the lake up to highway 2
I found a TOPO for Northern Louisiana made in 1950. The lake was built in 1963 i think so it dates back before then. It was somewhat useful in that it shows the lake follows the existing layout of the the land around the creeks it was built over. I couldnt find any roads that crossed the creeks or humps that are natural. So it wasnt much help in that regard. I can't remember the site but i remember searching topo maps for Louisiana years 1900-1999. I found this file titled LA_Shreveport_335227_1956_250000_geo.tif and downloaded it. Sorry I couldnt be more help.

You will see a little raindrop icon if you zoom in close enouef. Click on the raindrop and a window will open up with a download link. You can download the map to an SD card, place it into your sonar unit, and see the map of the lake with contours on your sonar unit.Quote:

How much memory does the SD Card need
I just checked the Site out and DO NOT LIKE what I saw --- Areas I fish shows the Contour of One foot and is 8 to 12 foot --- An area I know well is about 200 yards long that has a drop off from 10 to 16 feet is missing --- Websters Bluff up Corney is a joke
