Does that mean 330' at the dam or in the deepest part of the lake?
The terms they used
"maximum depth of the reservoir is approximately 330 feet deep"
means deepest part of the lake, however, looking at the Topo map, it most likely is in that Dam area anyway. There is over a 200 foot drop off near the dam area, so the 330 feet deep spots most likely are all in that generally large area in front of the dam and extending out from the dam quite a ways.
It is actually pretty common to have very deep spots near dams on lakes. That has been my experience with my own sonar when fishing lakes with dams.
Also, from initial looks at the spot where he was parked, the sloping of the lake does look pretty severe all around the shorelines near where his car was parked, so I am assuming the slope is pretty severe.
