Located in Elbert, Colorado, the Kiowa Creek Watershed C-11 dam stands as a testament to the dedication of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and USDA NRCS, who designed this structure in 1956 for flood risk reduction. The earth dam, with a height of 26 feet and a length of 403 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Kiowa Creek-TR river or stream.

With a maximum storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, the Kiowa Creek Watershed C-11 dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam's spillway, which is uncontrolled, has a width of 45 feet to manage a maximum discharge of 1400 cubic feet per second. Despite a low hazard potential, the condition assessment conducted in 2014 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition, ensuring its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the region.
