Dam: (Satellite, based on the Facebook photo at the bottom of these notes. The north bank has been moved south with landfill.)
The brick buildings on the right are a preserved flour mill.

This photo would be before the 1920 flood destroyed the dam and the mill quit using waterpower.

The modern bridge south of the truss was built after a 2010 flood removed much of the south bank. It was built with a $650,000 anonymous donation. [ArchivedBridgeHunter description]
The river now prefers the new channel that it cut in 2010.

I read that the 2010 flood removed the last remnants of the dam. So I fired up Google Earth and found this image that shows some remnants in the river. Also notice how much land was on the south side of the bridge before the flood.

| Nebraska State Historical Society posted ✨Sites Spotlight✨ The Neligh Mill and the Elkhorn River have had a complicated relationship. Once essential to operate the mill's water turbine to grind local grain, the river's water level also limited production at times. To operate 24/7, the river also provided hydroelectricity for the mill and the city of Neligh from 1900 to 1915. It wasn't until the dam was damaged during the Flood of 1920 that the mill's trajectory changed forever, forcing the abandonment of water power in favor of electricity.
