Abstract:
North Carolina, which only a few years ago had no lakes west of the Bladen group, now has dozens of large ones, and four more are about to added. The lake created by the Tuckertown dam should be full this spring, measuring seven miles long, containing 3,000 acres, located on the Yadkin between Stanly and Montgomery Counties. Other new lakes will follow, Including Lake Norman on the Catawba, and the lake created by the Gaston Dam of Vepco on the Roanoke River.

Abstract:
In an attempt to figure out the cause of the formation of the at least 1,200 pocosins, or bays, spreading over an area of some 25,000 miles, through North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, scientists have formulated 29 hypotheses to explain the phenomenon. Discovered through the use of aerial photography, the pocosins or bays appear as large, dark, regular-shaped elliptical ovals. All but seven of the pocosins have since dried up or were filled in. White, Black, Salters, Suggs, and Singletary Lakes are examples of the remaining mysteries.
