Bruce is a privately owned earth dam located in Johnson, Wyoming, along the Pheasant Draw river. Completed in 1956, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and creating a small fish pond. With a structural height of 22 feet and a spillway width of 40 feet, Bruce has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres.

Despite its age, Bruce is in fair condition with a low hazard potential. The dam has been inspected regularly, with the last assessment conducted in August 2017, revealing no imminent risks. While the drainage area is listed as zero, the dam's maximum discharge capacity is also reported as zero, indicating a low likelihood of flooding. Overall, Bruce presents a moderate risk level, but with proper risk management measures in place, it continues to serve its intended purposes effectively.

Located in a remote area along I-90, Bruce is overseen by the Wyoming State Enforement Office (SEO) and falls under state jurisdiction for regulation and inspection. With no associated structures and a primary purpose of providing essential water resources for fire protection and livestock, Bruce stands as a vital component of the local ecosystem and a testament to effective water resource management in Wyoming.
