Turkey, located in Campbell, Wyoming, is a privately owned dam with a primary purpose of irrigation, serving the local community and supporting agriculture in the region. Designed by Frank Hamilton and completed in 2009, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Turkey dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway to manage water flow from the Oreo Draw river.
The dam's infrastructure includes a stone core and rock and soil foundations, covering a surface area of 5.38 acres and draining a small 0.04 square mile watershed. While primarily used for irrigation, the dam also supports recreational activities in the area. Despite being privately owned, Turkey dam is regulated by the state and undergoes regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region and mitigating potential environmental impacts.
