Re:Red Granite Quarry
I don't know about a contour map, but it's a pretty small quarry so fairly easy to describe.

If you go to what I would consider the "main" entrance - this is the one with dumpsters by it and ample parking on dirt, take a left after the restaurant - also an easier entrance - it's a stepped decent.

You start out in fairly shallow water and it drops down quickly to about 20 feet. If you go to the right you will find the two boats - one which has a radio/stereo on the bow. If you sweep back and forth slowly moving out out you will also find the snowmobile in about 25 feet of water closer to the right side.

As you move farther across to the other side of the quarry the depths will increase in steps. I think down to 40, then it drops pretty quickly to 80 and black goo on the bottom. It is VERY black and VERY easy to silt up down there. I know there is a hole that goes down to about 115' but I personally have never been there. I have really only dove the quarry ice diving or DM'ing classes so I don't have a HUGE knowledge of the whole quarry.

If you start on the other side by the restaurant - taking a left before the restaurant when going through town - you can get in back there but it's pretty much a quick decent down to 80 feet and then you can tour the bottom...kinda flat, not much exceptional to see.

I know you can also tour the entire quarry on one dive (about 80 minutes) if you stick to the 20-30 depth range.
