89-acre lake in Apache County, Arizona. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 89 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work.
