Land & Cattle Co. is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, near the city of OKESA. Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. The dam, which is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, serves a primary purpose other than flood control or water supply.
Despite its relatively low hazard potential rating, the risk assessment for Okla. Land & Cattle Co. indicates a very high risk level. The dam has a controlled spillway, one outlet gate, and has not been inspected since September 2011. With a drainage area of 3 acres and a maximum discharge of 300 cubic feet per second, this dam is crucial for managing water resources in the area and must be closely monitored for potential risks and hazards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Okla. Land & Cattle Co. presents an interesting case study of a privately owned dam with significant implications for water management and safety.
