Santa Fe Lake is a reservoir 0.5 mi (0.80 km) south of downtown Williams in North Central Arizona. The reservoir is behind Santa Fe Dam, built in red sandstone. It is named after the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, which stored the reservoir's water for its steam locomotives traveling through Williams until when they were phased out in the 1950s by diesel locomotives.[1]
