With a dam height of 101 feet and a storage capacity of 298,280 acre-feet, Fort Cobb plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

The dam's controlled spillway, outlet gates, and high hazard potential underscore the importance of its operations and maintenance. Despite its age, the condition assessment of Fort Cobb is currently listed as "Not Available," highlighting the need for regular inspections and risk management measures. The dam's proximity to the city of Fort Cobb and its strategic location within the drainage area further emphasize its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

As a key structure within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Cobb stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to mitigate flood risks and ensure the safety of local communities. With its very high risk assessment rating and the potential for significant impact in case of failure, Fort Cobb serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in the overall water resource and climate management strategy for the area. Its history, design, and operational features make it a focal point for enthusiasts and experts alike in the field of water resource management and climate resilience.
