2009 Map of Tuttle Creek Dam

About this map

Tuttle Creek Lake dominates this landscape, its expansive waters held back by the massive engineering of the Tuttle Creek Dam. The shoreline is characterized by modern development and recreational infrastructure, notably around Spillway Marina Rd, Taylors View Rd, and the residential clusters along Washington Blvd. This 2009 survey illustrates how the Big Blue River valley was transformed by mid-century water management, creating a new geography of inlets and coves where creeks like Carnahan Creek and McIntyre Creek now meet the reservoir.
