Often, when people are discussing 'trouble' or lumpy spots on the lake, I'll go to Google Maps and turn on their Satellite view. It's amazing what you can see from a satellite (and much less expensive than an aircraft ride)! Some of these rocks show up easily, especially if you have the brightness turned up on your computer screen.

Compare that Satellite view with the Navionics chart for the area and you'll see why the NAVAIDS are there:
