Texas Dams

Texas features a diverse array of dams that serve as critical infrastructure for power generation, irrigation, and water management. This list includes Wirtz Dam, a hydroelectric facility built in the mid-20th century to create Lake Lyndon B. Johnson. Other structures, like the Fort Parker State Park Lake Dam, highlight the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. These sites define the state's recreational landscape, ranging from large-scale utility projects to smaller municipal reservoirs.
