The manmade lake evidentally disappeared without so much as the sucking sound as the last of the water vanished. Can you imagine the depleted value of lakeside real estate at that location? Any possibility of a broken earthen dam at this site? The article didn't specify.

There is an area called "Red Lake" north of Kingman.

The Wallapai Indian legend is that it was a wonderful large lake and one morning they awoke and it was gone.

there is still a swampy area and other evidence of the size.

Today we know that there are giant salt caverns under Red Lake.

So large that several companies have planned to go in, seal the walls with water from Lake Mead (maybe a 40 mile pipeline) and use them to store Natural Gas or even nuclear waste.

With the Salt Caverns, it would be no problem for a crack to happen and the water to go thru it.
