Eagle Nest Dam
The Eagle Nest Dam is a dam just east of the town of Eagle Nest, New Mexico on U.S. Route 64. The dam, on private property, is on the Cimarron River, and is responsible for Eagle Nest Lake.
==History==
In 1907, two wealthy ranchers, Frank Springer and Charles Springer, and the Cimarron Valley Land Company were granted a water permit (New Mexico Permit #71) to impound the water of the Cimarron River for irrigation by building a dam. Construction of the dam began in 1916, and continued until 1918. The dam is high and has an arc length of . At the top, the dam is wide, and it is wide at the base.〔(New Mexico Magazine, the state magazine for New Mexico )〕 It is considered the largest privately built dam in the United States. The resulting lake, known as Eagle Nest Lake has an area of and measures long, and wide. The surface elevation of the water when the lake is at capacity is above sea level. The reservoir has a capacity of of water. The dam was constructed by laborers from the nearby Taos Pueblo, and contains no reinforcing steel. The dam sits between two granite walls, and as part of the plans, the Springer's has to reroute U.S. Route 64 to its current location, over McAvoy Hill.
To help finance the dam, Springer sold some water rights from Eagle Nest Lake to local farmers and ranchers. These original rights are known as ''vested rights''. In 1951, the State of New Mexico adjudicated the watershed of the Cimarron River. This adjudication confirmed Springer's original permit which gave him the right to store surplus and flood water in the Eagle Nest Lake. There were many other court cases, and one of them ended up in the New Mexico State Supreme Court in 1990.
