Check the shoreline and see where the highest waterline is. It will be a change in colour from lighter to darker. Since I have no idea where LBJ lake is (OK I'm guessing Texas), if it happens to be manmade then the floodplane will be the highest point on the dam.

If you can't access this, go throught Yahoo! realestate and look at homes and the area the lake is. Under the homes picture, it will state "view flood plane" which will be the specific area you are looking for.
