Bush Ranch, located in Camp Creek, SD, is a privately-owned irrigation dam built on the North Fork Little Missouri River in Crook, Wyoming. Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 867 acre-feet, serving primarily for irrigation purposes. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is rated as being in poor condition, with a moderate risk level due to its age and lack of recent maintenance.

The Bush Ranch dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 667 feet and is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The structure underwent its last inspection in June 2021, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam poses a moderate risk, there are currently no specific risk management measures or emergency action plans in place. As a key water resource infrastructure in the region, Bush Ranch serves as a critical component for agricultural operations in the area, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued functionality and safety in the face of changing climate conditions.
