The picture below has achieved urban legend status in Albuquerque, NM. Yes, that's the city to which the caption refers and whose 'skyline' (c. 1960s) you can see on the 'shore'. The foothills of the Sandia Mountains, east of the city, provide the backdrop.
This graphic was part of a promotional campaign in the 1969s and 1970s by boosters to lure businesses and others (read: wealthy retirees) to the Land of Enchantment's largest city.The picture and some text (I assume) was published in media in the eastern and midwestern USA.
The 'lake' alluded to is none other that the aquifer system underlying Albuquerque, which provided abundant good-quality water to the city and environs. Groundwater was the city's sole source of M&I water at the time, a condition that existed until the past few years when the Rio Grande was utilized for some (about 40%) of the water supply. The change was motivated by a seminal study in the early 1990s that demonstrated that the aquifer system was not nearly as extensive or productive as once believed. Some land subsidence was also detected and arsenic in the groundwater also became an issue.
