Levees and Dams at Fort Riley, Kansas, and the Response to the 1951 Flood

Abstract

This project provides a historic context and inventory for the levees and dams constructed at Fort Riley, Kansas. The purpose of this historic context and inventory is to determine the levees and dams eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Determinations of eligibility to the NRHP are then made based on the significance of the levees and dams and the degree to which they retain their integrity for conveying that significance. The authors inventoried and evaluated three levees and two lake dams on the installation. Based on the historic context and inventory, researchers for this project have determined that none of the levees and dams are eligible for the inclusion in the NRHP nor was there enough evidence for a noncontiguous historic district at Fort Riley.
