Schulte Farm Dam, located in Keokuk, Iowa, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock maintenance, and as a small fish pond. Built in 1996 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 400 feet. With a storage capacity of 25 acre-feet and a surface area of 2 acres, the dam is designed to regulate water flow from the TR- North Skunk River.

Managed by a private owner, Schulte Farm Dam is regulated and inspected by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Despite being rated as low risk, the dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its potential hazards. The spillway is uncontrolled, and the dam is primarily constructed with soil as its foundation, making it essential for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity for public safety and environmental protection. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Schulte Farm Dam presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of agricultural practices, water management, and ecosystem health within the Rock Island District.
