Upper Point of Pines is a Federal-owned recreational dam located in Graham, Arizona, along Point of Pines Creek. Built in 1970 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 29 feet and spans 500 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet, the primary purpose of Upper Point of Pines is to provide recreational opportunities for visitors in the area.
Despite its age, Upper Point of Pines is considered to have a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. While the condition assessment is not available, the emergency action plan was last revised in 2013, indicating ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and security of the dam. However, the risk management measures and inundation maps for the dam are currently not prepared, highlighting potential areas for improvement in the future.
Situated within the Los Angeles District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Upper Point of Pines serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. Its controlled spillway and emergency action plan further emphasize the importance of maintaining and monitoring this dam to ensure its continued functionality and safety for both recreational users and the local ecosystem.
