Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but there's a sunken Statue of Liberty at Ironband's Excavation Site in the bottom right of the zone, like in Planet of the Apes.
To clarify, Loch means Lake in Scottish. Blizzard meant this, Loch or Lake Modan, to be a spoof on the infamous Loch Ness, and Loch Ness monster (Hence the big aquatic dinosaurs in the lake). Nessy herself can be seen from the Deeprun Tram.
