An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Buffalo Bill Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Shoshone River in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It is named after the famous Wild West figure William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who founded the nearby town of Cody and owned much of the land now covered by the reservoir formed by its construction. The dam is part of the Shoshone Project, successor to several visionary schemes promoted by Cody to irrigate the Bighorn Basin and turn it from a semi-arid sagebrush-covered plain to productive agricultural land. Known at the time of its construction as Shoshone Dam, it was renamed in 1946 to honor Cody.

  • Buffalo Bill Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam on the Shoshone River in the U.S. state of Wyoming. It is named after the famous Wild West figure William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who founded the nearby town of Cody and owned much of the land now covered by the reservoir formed by its construction. The dam is part of the Shoshone Project, successor to several visionary schemes promoted by Cody to irrigate the Bighorn Basin and turn it from a semi-arid sagebrush-covered plain to productive agricultural land. Known at the time of its construction as Shoshone Dam, it was renamed in 1946 to honor Cody. The 325 feet (99 m) high structure was designed by engineer Daniel Webster Cole and built between 1905 and 1910. At the time of its completion it was the tallest dam in the world. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and named a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1973. The land around the reservoir is maintained as Buffalo Bill State Park. (en)
  • De Buffalo Billdam is een betonnen zwaartekracht-boogdam in de in de Amerikaanse staat Wyoming. De dam bevindt zich in het noordwesten van de staat, ten oosten van Yellowstone National Park en ten westen van het stadje Cody. De dam is te bereiken via de Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway. De stuwdam is vernoemd naar William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, de stichter van Cody en een groot voorstander van irrigatieprojecten in de streek. De bouw van Shoshone Dam, zoals ze tot 1946 heette, werd in 1910 voltooid. Op dat moment was het de hoogste dam ter wereld. De dam had echter van in het begin te kampen met lekken en capaciteitsverlies. Van 1985 tot 1993 werd de Buffalo Billdam met 7,6 meter verhoogd. Sinds 1971 staat de Buffalo Billdam op het National Register of Historic Places. In 1973 werd het een National Civil Engineering Landmark genoemd. Rond de stuwdam bevinden zich vier waterkrachtcentrales: de Shoshone Power Plant uit 1922, de Heart Mountain Power Plant uit 1947, de Buffalo Bill Power Plant uit 1992 en de Spirit Mountain Power Plant uit 1994. Achter de dam heeft er zich een stuwmeer gevormd, het Buffalo Bill-reservoir. De oevers van dat meer horen tot het recreatiedomein . (nl)
