Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
Despite its age, Campbell #1 has not been rated for its condition, and there is limited information available on its inspection history and emergency preparedness measures. The dam is not owned or funded by any federal agency and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers. While it poses a low risk of failure, further assessment and maintenance may be necessary to ensure its long-term functionality and safety for the surrounding community and the environment. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this dam of interest for its role in local water management and conservation efforts in the Big Horn County area of Montana.
