Bean Dam, located in Comanche, Texas along Moore Creek, was completed in 1951 for the primary purpose of irrigation.

This private dam stands at 20 feet tall and stretches 975 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is not rated, and it is considered to have a high risk potential.
Owned privately and not regulated by the state, Bean Dam does not have a spillway and features a single outlet gate. With no associated structures and a lack of surface area and drainage, the dam presents a unique challenge for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The risk of the dam is classified as high, making it a focal point for potential hazard mitigation and risk management in the region.
