Hint: To find the gravel deposit causing this "lake" to turn into a dry pit, first locate the 40ft high dam. Now look to the left to find the lightly colored gravel at clock orientation of 10pm. You need excavators who know what they're doing if you want to build a lake not a dry pit.
When landowners contact me after making a purchase in Bosque County, usually the first thing on the landowner's mind is the potential and size of a lake (or pond) on the property.
Of course we have to build roads first, but the lake is usually where the fun and recreational opportunities are.
What you want to have a plan for is how to deal with gravel deposits. We know the land in Bosque County now approaching 40 years. A gravel deposit creates a "french drain" that will turn your lake into a dry pit. We have the experience to keep that from happening.
Watch out for excavators who don't have the knowledge of the soil, geology, and terrain of Bosque County.
