If we make artificial lakes or man-made landforms, rivers, geysers, mountains, and reefs, we might as well make them pretty.

01. Lake Powell

Lake Powell

Lake Powellcdn.all-that-is-interesting.com

The second largest artificial reservoir in the US, Lake Powell, sits on the Arizona/Utah border.

02. Longsheng Rice Terrace

Longsheng Rice Terrace

Longsheng Rice Terraceabsolutechinatours.com

The Longsheng Rice Terraces are 650 years old and are sometimes referred to as the “Dragon’s Backbone” Rice Terraces for their resemblance to dragon’s scales and the way they snake up Longji Mountain.

03. Fly Geyser Man-Made Landform Or Fountain

Fly Geyser

Fly Geyserupload.wikimedia.org

Located on private land in Nevada, this alien-looking geyser is the accidental product of well-drilling north of Gerlach.

04. Zeya Reservoir

Zeya Reservoir

Zeya Reservoirphotos.wikimapia.org

Located in Zeya, Russia, on the Zeya River, the Zeya Reservoir is the byproduct of the Zeya Dam, a hydroelectric gravity dam that generates 4.91 terawatt-hours.

05. Lake Nasser

Lake Nasser

Lake Nasserupload.wikimedia.org

Stretching from Egypt to Sudan, Lake Nasser is one of the world’s largest artificial bodies of water and is the product of the Aswan High Dam construction in the mid-to-late 1900s.

06. Providence Canyon

Providence Canyon

Providence Canyonflickr.com

Sometimes referred to as the “Little Grand Canyon of Georgia,” the 1,003 acres of Providence Canyon are the partial product of improper farming practices in the 19th century, leading to soil erosion.

07. Lake Las Vegas

Lake Las Vegas

Lake Las Vegasthetaitteam.com

Sure, it’s beautiful because it was landscaped that way, but the aerial view of Lake Las Vegas demonstrates how perfectly it approximates the oases of legend.

08. Banaue Rice Terraces

Banaue Rice Terraces

Banaue Rice Terracesupload.wikimedia.org

Known locally as the “Eight Wonder of the World,” these rice terraces have been used for over 2,000 years.

09. Indigo Lake

Indigo Lake

Indigo Lakecitypictures.net

This Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (Ohio) fishing hole was originally Gray’s Quarry. It was filled in to become a lake when the park service took over the area in 1974.

10. Lake Piva

Lake Piva

Lake Pivararedelights.com

The “most elevated artificial reservoir in the world,” Lake Piva in Montenegro, sits 2215 feet above sea level.

11. Nebraska National Forest

Nebraska National Forest

Nebraska National Forestupload.wikimedia.org

Arguably the enormous artificial forest in the world, the sprawling 142,000 acres of Nebraska National Forest started as just a handful of saplings planted in the early 20th century.

12. Honghe Hani Rice Terraces

Honghe Hani Rice Terraces

Honghe Hani Rice Terracesi.dailymail.co.uk

The 1,200-year-old internet-famous Honghe Hani Rice Terraces in China were named a world heritage site last year.

13. Perucac Lake

Perucac Lake

Perucac Lakeupload.wikimedia.org

Another product of the hydroelectricity movement, Perucac Lake, was formed when the Drina River in Serbia was dammed. Behind its beauty lies a sinister secret, as it may have been a primary dumping site for executed civilians during the 1992 Visegrad Massacres.

14. Analavory Cold Water Geyser Man-Made Landform

Analavory Cold Water Geyser

Analavory Cold Water Geyserlh6.ggpht.com

Unlike the Fly Geyser, the four geysers in Analavory, Madagascar, are the product of underground mining. Nutrient and acid-rich water is piped out and away from the mines, leaving incredible deposits that resemble natural geysers over time.

15. Foy’s Lake

Foy’s Lake

Foy’s Lakestatic.panoramio.com

Created in 1924 to supply water to those who had relocated to the area while working on the railroad, today, Foy’s Lake in Chittagong, Bangladesh, is the centerpiece of Foy’s Lake Amusement Park.

16. USCG Duane

USCG Duane

USCG Duaneflickr.com

We cringe when we hear about big things sinking (intentionally or otherwise) to rest permanently out of sight and mind at the bottom of the ocean. It turns out, however, that artificial reefs formed around this debris can have remarkably positive effects on the ecosystems they exist in. Take the USCG Duane, sunk in 1987, as a prime example.
