It is formed by Bradbury Dam, a 61 m earth-fill dam built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1953. It can hold up to 253 million cubic metres and has a surface area of 13 km2. It is surrounded by scrub like chapparal country which in this film recalls me of the resevoir above the town I come from and where I visited as a child although it is 9,000km distant.
