Mccue North Dam, located in Furnas County, Nebraska, is a state-owned structure built in 1935 for flood risk reduction and other purposes. Standing at a height of 24 feet with a length of 449 feet, this earth dam is designed with buttress and stone cores on a soil foundation. It has a storage capacity of 124 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 12.8 acres, serving the surrounding area with a normal storage capacity of 60.9 acre-feet.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Mccue North Dam undergoes regular state inspections, with the last assessment conducted in 2011, deeming its condition fair with low hazard potential. Although there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's hydraulic height matches its structural height at 24 feet. Despite its age, Mccue North Dam continues to play a vital role in flood risk management for the local community along Beaver Creek.
With its location in Congressional District 03 and under the jurisdiction of the NE DNR, Mccue North Dam remains a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in Nebraska. Its historical significance, coupled with ongoing state regulation and inspection, highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring this earth dam to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related hazards.
