Oxford Pointe, located in Leawood, Kansas, is a private water resource managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. This recreational dam, completed in 1959, stands at 25 feet tall and spans 825 feet in length, holding a storage capacity of 110.87 acre-feet. The dam, built with a buttress core type, serves as an important feature along Tomahawk Creek-TR, contributing to the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for the community.
Despite its significance, Oxford Pointe poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment. With a high risk of failure, regular inspections are conducted every three years to ensure public safety. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain underdeveloped, highlighting the need for proactive measures to mitigate potential risks and safeguard the surrounding area from inundation events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the maintenance and improvement of Oxford Pointe is crucial for supporting sustainable water management practices in Johnson County, Kansas.
