The reservoir is located south of Blanco and east of Largo Canyon. Photo was taken July 3, 2021 at sunrise. Great little getaway gem for fishing and hiking. The lake is part of the main stream of water for the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry.

Accompanying Water Reflection: I have the utmost respect for water and feel that our community is blessed to have the water resources we have in the Four Corners region. Water is Life, the process by which energy and resources are transformed. Cutter dam is part of that transformation. It is beautiful and quiet in its own little part of San Juan County. In all of it’s stillness it provides water to one of the largest irrigated farms in the United States. I am honored to enjoy this hidden lake that is like a gem in the middle of New Mexico’s high desert.

This reflection won Best Water Reflection in the 2022 We are Water Photo Contest.
