Description: An oblique topographic view of the Taum Sauk pumped storage plant.
Caption: Water from the East Fork Black River is pumped to the reservoir atop of Proffit Mountain at night. During periods of peak daytime demand the hydroelectric plant at the bottom of the mountain can use this to generate over 400MW of power. The water flows through a 7000-foot tunnel connecting the upper reservoir to the power plant. Water for pump-back is stored in a lower reservoir on the river (south of the bounds of this image). Johnson Shut-ins State Park is a short ways upstream from the power plant. For scale, the large numbered red squares (21, 22, etc.) on this topographic map are one square mile (2.6 km²) survey sections.
