Pyramid Lake (Los Angeles County, California)
Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains. The 386 foot tall earth and rock dam was built by the California Department of Water Resources
==History==
In 1843, gold was discovered near Pyramid Lake and in the Santa Feliciana Canyon, just south of what is now Pyramid Dam. But the small find failed to trigger a rush to the mountainous countryside. Only Francisco Lopes, owner of Rancho Temescal, a Mexican land grant, and a handful of ranchers attempted to settle the region.
This lake was created in 1972,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://socalregion.com/highways/us_99/us990311/ )〕 and completed in 1973, as a holding reservoir for the California State Water Project. Travelers between Los Angeles and Bakersfield christened the landmark “Pyramid Rock,” which still stands just adjacent to the dam.〔
Completed in 1973, the lake was named after a pyramid-shaped rock carved out by engineers building U.S. Route 99.
