Charts and Maps for Purchase
 ·  Detailed charts (26 pages) showing bottom elevation for Percy Priest Lake can be purchased from the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers for $22 plus shipping and handling. You can order by phone at (615) 736-7864 or purchase in person at:

      The Estes Kefauver Federal Bldg
      US Courthouse, Room 674
      801 Broadway, Nashville, TN
      (This is not a mailing address.)

Note that the Corps charts show bottom elevation in feet above mean sea level. To determine actual water depth you must first know the surface elevation and then subtract the bottom elevation. Check the current surface headwater elevation here and here.
 ·  Another good map is the waterproof Percy Priest Lake Fishing & Boating Map (#A408) from Fishing Hot Spots Maps. These maps are also available at area sporting goods stores and tackle shops (Wal Mart, etc.) or by calling 1-800-ALL-MAPS (800-255-6277).

This map shows depth in feet below the normal summer pool surface elevation of 490 feet. Check the current surface headwater elevation here and here.
 ·  And still another good map is the waterproof J. Percy Priest GPS Lake Map by Atlantic Mapping. You can order the map by printing out the order form here.

This map may also be available locally at retailers like West Marine.
