Drought Spurs Reconsideration of Neosho County Lake Plan
Plans to build a 75 foot dam on Chetopa Creek west of Thayer revive after drought spurred civic groups in Thayer Chanute and Neosho Wilson counties to revisit a 1930s proposal. A 1936 bond funded part of the project and new cost estimates cite a 435000 total for dam land clearing and park area with potential pipelines to Chanute and Thayer. The lake would hold two years of water for Thayer and Chanute, provide fishing benefits, and draw possible federal and state cost sharing.
