Como Dam

Como Dam (National ID # MT00564) is a dam in Ravalli County, Montana, in the far western part of the state. Como Dam was originally constructed by local farmers around 1910, to impound a natural lake for irrigation storage; the United States Bureau of Reclamation enhanced and stabilized that structure in 1954, in 1976, and in 1992-1993. The dam is 85 feet high, with a length of 2550 feet at its crest. As part of the larger Bitter Root Project, the dam and reservoir are both owned by the local Bitter Root Project Irrigation District.
