153-acre reservoir in Uintah County, Utah. The lake tops out around 56 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Brough Reservoir draws 153 acres inside 2.5 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 14% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Uintah County.
