The Cross & Cruse Creek Ditch Co., also known as Last Chance, is a private water management organization located in Big Horn, Wyoming. Established in 1895, this irrigation system serves to provide water to agricultural lands in the area, with a primary purpose of irrigation. The dam structure, primarily made of earth and stone, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 294 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 210 acre-feet.

Despite its historical significance and importance to local agriculture, the Cross & Cruse Creek Ditch Co. is currently facing challenges in terms of its condition assessment, which has been rated as poor. With a low hazard potential but moderate risk assessment, there is a need for increased maintenance and potentially rehabilitation efforts to ensure the continued functionality and safety of this vital water resource infrastructure. The last inspection in August 2019 highlighted the need for improvements, and a comprehensive risk management plan may be necessary to address these concerns and prevent potential issues in the future.
