How could i use the us fisher map org chart or other chart for AZ

Hello, I'm New to sailing and just purchased my first sailboat I'm sailing on a inland lake (lake Pleasent AZ) and was not able find any charts from the downloads page for Arizona. i did find one here https://usa.fishermap.org/depth-map/lake-pleasant/

But I'm not sure how to use it with OpenCPN or if it even could. Does anyone have a source for lakes in AZ, USA that may work with OpenCPN I have no issue paying for them just can't find any? this is all in prep to lean on the lake then take my boat to the coast

Thank you

I don't find AZ listed in the NOAA chart set. You could contact o-charts to see if they know of a chart source. https://o-charts.org/?lng=en



There are tools to convert the chart you have, but they may be beyond your skill set.
Our OpenCPN manual has tools and details for this under "Charts"

Actual charts are rare for impounds and all our Arizona lakes are impounds. Local, up-to-date knowledge from other boaters or marina management might serve you better. There are some seasonal restrictions to protect bald eagle nestlings. These are usually marked on current "maps" of the lake. Your depth finder or sonar will be helpful.

Navionics have Lake Pleasant pretty well mapped. If you are prepared to part with some cash. The Boating app works very well too.

Zoom in on it:
