Does this lake exist? I'd like to think I know of the outdoorsy stuff around me, and was looking up "lists of lakes in California" on Wikipedia, and this showed up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Lake_(California)
This government geological website confirms its existence:
https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:3:0::NO::P3_FID:256446
But looking at Google Maps, it doesn't show any sort of blue or anything.
What the fuck is going on? Can't even seen to find any other pictures of it. There's a Baker Lake in Washington, so anything with Baker Lake points to that and adding in Shasta, since it's in Shasta County just brings up Shasta Lake, not this mysterious "Baker Lake" that I've never even once heard mentioned. It is a bit ways off the main road, but you'd think there would be more on it.

Sometimes the smaller ones don't show up on the standard map, switch to satellite image to see what the actual levels are during the summer.

Shouldn't be man - Something like 80% of the worlds waterways do not flow year-round. This is the normal state of things and has been since times long before man came along and started fucking things up.
Now, lakes rivers and streams that don't come back at all over the course of several years? That might be a loss due to man's activities. But even then it's not a certainty, none of this is static or permanent and never has been, never will be.
