Do you know or have a contour map showing the various depths of Silver Lake in Hamilton County
I don’t. Unfortunately the most common way over surveying elevation these days, LIDAR reflects back from the surface of water, so you only get the surface elevation. You otherwise have to get back there with a boat and a sounder or measure a rope, which it doesn’t look like has been done by DEC. https://andyarthur.org/kml-maps-waterbodies-with-dec-fishing-contour-maps.html
