The usual symbology on USGS and DMS maps is that the black border denotes an 'artificial shoreline', where the shore is either stabilized with riprap or concrete, or built up with a groyne, quay or similar structure. Sometimes I care enough to map those. (No apologies for not caring. There's so very much around me that is unmapped that anything I do is leaving something else undone.) The stabilized shorelines even look decent on the default rendering. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.4601/-74.4525 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/42.4769/-74.4393 Many smaller reservoirs have artificially hardened shorelines completely surrounding them, which could be why you thought that the symbology distinguishes 'lake' from 'reservoir.' -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin
