The images with the RED border are those spots where SILT depth is greater than water depth.

Depth water and silt depth figures shown in white are in FEET. The left column black figures of 1540 to 1576 are elevation above sea level. The numbers at the bottom of each column are the original test shot number assigned on the day the study was done.


This study was sponsored by the Southwest Minnesota Fishing Club, Nobles County Environmental Services Department, Okabena-Ocheda Watershed District and Nobles Soil and Water Conservation District.

Labor was provided by: The Southwest Minnesota Fishing Club, The Nobles Soil and Water Conservation District, Nobles County Environmental Services Department

The Okabena-Ocheda Watershed District paid for the survey
The Okabena-Ocheda-Bella Clean Water Partnership Board may have paid part of the cost of publishing the brochure
Zieske Land Surveying of Windom, MN was paid to do the survey work, Houston Engineering of Fargo, ND was hired to draw the topographic map of the lake bottom for the brochure

The Excel spreadsheet analysis, graphic images and presentation were created by Bob Rohrer in 2007
