3D Topographic Map?

[DanWake]

I was thinking about making a 3D printed depth map of a lake for a housewarming present, but don't really know where to start. The lake is a small one in Michigan, Omena Lake, and there isn't much that I can find about it online. This is about the best topographic information I can find online: www.fishmich.com/counties/st-joseph-lakes/omena-lake.php  Does anyone have any experience or ideas on how I could convert something like this (or information from another source) into a printable map?

This is something that would be interesting to know how to do. I wouldn't consider trying to figure out all those steps but would like some help to do this as a group activity on Thursday. Would someone be able to instruct the rest of us?
