Built in 1940, the dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock maintenance, and creating a small fish pond. With a height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet, the dam has low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), this dam is regulated and inspected by the state to ensure its safety and functionality. It is situated in Big Horn County and falls under the jurisdiction of Congressional District 00, represented by Greg Gianforte. The dam's primary source agency is the state of Montana, and it is located in a remote area with limited infrastructure.
Despite its low hazard potential, Eagle Land #1 plays a crucial role in providing water resources for fire protection and livestock in the region. Its history dating back to 1940 highlights its importance in supporting local communities and maintaining ecological balance. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and regulating structures like Eagle Land #1 become increasingly essential for sustainable water management practices.
