Clifford F. Graham is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Granger, Wyoming. Built in 1961, this Earth-type dam stands at 14 feet high and spans 3400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 321 acre-feet. Situated on a branch of Smiths Fork Creek in Uinta County, this dam serves multiple purposes including irrigation, fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond maintenance.

Despite its low hazard potential, Clifford F. Graham is in poor condition according to the latest inspection in October 2018. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 20 feet, and it is equipped with a single slide gate for water release. Although the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks proper emergency action plans and inundation maps.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the maintenance and management of dams in Wyoming may find Clifford F. Graham an intriguing case study. With its historical significance and multi-purpose functionality, this dam highlights the importance of regular inspections, risk assessments, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and efficiency of water infrastructure in the region.
