Dam on Calamity Creek Dam Will Create Lake Near Alpine
Congratulations to Mrs. George Brown and family for winning Texas Water Commission approval to dam Calamity Creek on their ranch 17 miles south of Alpine Pla. A dam 100 feet high and 590 feet long will form a lake for recreation aiding Big Bend needs. Construction hoped to begin soon as dry cold fronts continue. Screw-worms are kept in check by freezing weather, offering relief to stock and game.
