Can you see the dam?

"Altus Reservoir, with 6,260 acre surface acres and 49 miles of shoreline, impounds the North Fork of the Red River. The lake is surrounded by the stark beauty of rough granite hills and outcroppings--remnants of the Wichita Mountain Range whose peaks once stood over 20,000 feet tall." (from www.lasr.net/travel/lake).
