Steven is a privately owned irrigation dam located on Beaver Creek in Crook, Wyoming. Built in 1959, this earth dam stands at 20 feet high and has a storage capacity of 189 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Steven is currently in poor condition and is classified as having a moderate risk level, requiring regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 180 feet and one uncontrolled outlet gate. While it serves primarily for irrigation purposes, Steven's condition assessment in 2019 indicated a need for improvements to meet safety standards. With its location in a picturesque area near Hulett, Steven presents a unique opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study the impact of aging infrastructure on water management and conservation efforts in the region.

As one of the many dams under state jurisdiction in Wyoming, Steven's maintenance and risk management measures play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems. With its historical significance and functional importance for irrigation, Steven serves as a focal point for ongoing discussions on the sustainable management of water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
