About Devil's Lake, Wisconsin
Devil's Lake is a lake in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States. It is part of the South Range of the Baraboo Range, about 2 mi (3.2 km) south of the city of Baraboo, Wisconsin. It has no surface outlets, so by some definitions, it is endorheic; however, it possibly drains by underground channels into the Baraboo River, which would make the lake cryptorheic. The lake is one of the primary attractions of Devil's Lake State Park. It is also a popular recreation destination for watercraft, fishing, hiking, and climbing.

About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Devil's Lake, Wisconsin from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.
The model covers a 5 by 5 kilometer square centered on 43.4200, -89.7300. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:33,300. The heights are exaggerated 2.5× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. Land below sea level is kept, so you can see how low it really is.
