Beaver Lake
Beaver Lake and Elk lake, which are located adjacent to each other north-west of the city of Victoria, were once separate bodies of water; however, when Beaver Lake began to serve as the water supply for Victoria, the water level rose and united the two lakes.1 The name Beaver Lake still remains in usage due to local popularity.2
