Mauck Dam, located in Graham County, Kansas, was completed in 2000 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. The earth dam stands at a height of 12.5 feet and spans a length of 316 feet, with a storage capacity of 61.72 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is to support fish and wildlife habitats, covering a surface area of 2.96 acres and draining a 0.6 square-mile watershed.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Mauck Dam poses a low hazard potential and has not been officially rated for its condition. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, with the last recorded inspection dating back to February 2003. While no emergency action plan or inundation maps have been prepared for the site, the dam's design and construction were funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Mauck Dam, nestled along the Bow Creek in Kirwin, Kansas, offers a peaceful sanctuary for local wildlife and vegetation. With its modest size and purposeful design, the dam provides essential support for the surrounding ecosystem while maintaining a low risk profile for nearby residents and property. As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the diverse landscape of Graham County, Mauck Dam stands as a testament to the harmonious intersection of human intervention and natural conservation.
