Nv No Name 1 Dam in Elko, Nevada, is a Federal-owned structure primarily serving as a reservoir for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. This Earth-type dam, standing at a height of 24 feet and stretching 100 feet in length, is situated on Sheep Creek-TR and falls under the jurisdiction of the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
