Reservoirs

A reservoir is a body of stored water created or substantially modified through a dam, impoundment, excavation, diversion, or other managed water-control system. Although it can become integrated into surrounding landscapes and ecosystems, its form or water regime is materially influenced by human infrastructure. It must therefore remain distinct from a naturally formed lake in generated descriptions.

Valleys

A valley is an elongated area of lower ground between hills, mountains, ridges, or plateaus, commonly organized around a river, stream, glacier, or former drainage path. Valleys may be carved by flowing water or ice, controlled by faults and folds, or shaped by combinations of erosion and deposition. The type is broader than a narrow gorge and describes the containing landform rather than only the watercourse or settlement within it.

Viewpoints

A viewpoint is a named observation location from which surrounding terrain, water, or other natural features can be seen and interpreted. Unlike the other categories, it identifies a place defined by its outlook rather than a landform or hydrological system in its own right. It may be entirely natural, lightly adapted, or supported by built infrastructure, but that distinction requires feature-specific evidence.
