Four Mile is a privately-owned earth dam located in Johnson, Wyoming, along Four Mile Creek. Built in 1944 for irrigation purposes, this dam stands at 18 feet high with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a length of 700 feet. It has a storage capacity of 136 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres, serving as a vital resource for the surrounding agricultural community.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition, as assessed in 2017. Regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality.
