Waxhoma Dam on unnamed stream near Barnsdall, OK. 2021 patch failed in 2025

I could not find a name for the creek on any map I looked at. But the creek soon dumps its water into Bird Creek.

May 2025 Flood


The water is flowing under the spillway. The lake is the water source for 5000 homes and businesses in the area. It was patched with 24" rock.

Some of the county roads are flooded. Is the hole getting bigger?

Work began on a temporary fix the next day. I permanent fix has been tied up in various engineering and regulation issues since 2019 and would take 6-9 months.
