The 1947 specifications for Sahoma put the area of the lake at 344 acres at the normal pool elevation of 716’, with a cumulative volume of 4,850 acre-feet of water. However, the 2011 hydrographic survey by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board put the lake’s area at 277 acres, with a cumulative volume of 2,543 acre-feet of water. The Board cautioned that at least some of the difference in the numbers might be due to differing measurement methods, rather than simple sedimentation."Hydrographic Survey of Sahoma Lake, Final Report, October 31, 2011, pages 10-11"(PDF).
