Barton is a privately owned dam located in Weiser, Idaho, along an unnamed stream and Monroe Creek. Built in 1915, this earth dam stands at a height of 51.5 feet, with a hydraulic height of 48 feet and a total length of 750 feet. It serves a variety of purposes, with a primary purpose classified as 'Other', and has a storage capacity of 685 acre-feet. The dam has a significant hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in August 2018.

This dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 10 feet and utilizes slide (sluice gate) outlet gates. The surrounding area has a drainage area of 1.4 square miles and a surface area of 61 acres. Despite its age, Barton remains state-regulated and is subject to periodic inspections, with the last inspection occurring in 2018 at a frequency of every 2 years. With a very high risk assessment rating and a risk management plan yet to be specified, Barton presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in dam safety and management practices.
