Graham is a privately owned irrigation dam located on Smith's Fork Creek in Uinta, Wyoming. The dam, completed in 1945, is an earth dam with a height of 33 feet and a length of 420 feet. It serves the primary purpose of irrigation and has a storage capacity of 221 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Despite its low hazard potential, Graham is currently in poor condition according to a 2018 assessment. The dam has a moderate risk rating and a limited emergency action plan in place. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 19 feet, and there is one valve outlet gate for water release. The dam is situated in a picturesque location with a surface area of 26 acres, but it lacks proper drainage area and has a maximum discharge of 177 cfs.

With Liz Cheney as the Congresswoman representing the area, Graham continues to be a crucial resource for the local community in Mountain View, Wyoming. As a water resource and climate enthusiast, it is important to monitor the condition of dams like Graham to ensure the safety of both people and the environment, especially in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water demand.
