Wulfkuhle Dam, located in Douglas County, Kansas, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a structural height of 28 feet and a length of 350 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 27.12 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 16 acre-feet, serving the Deer Creek-TR river or stream for water resource management.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Wulfkuhle Dam has not been inspected since July 2004, indicating a need for updated assessment and safety measures. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 38 feet and no outlet gates. Despite its condition assessment being "Not Rated," the dam plays a significant role in providing essential services for fire protection and agricultural purposes in the region.

While not under state jurisdiction or regulation, Wulfkuhle Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the local community, maintaining a moderate risk level that necessitates regular inspection and potential risk management measures. As a key component for water resource management and environmental conservation, the dam's design and purpose highlight the importance of maintaining and updating such structures to ensure their continued functionality and safety for the surrounding area.
