Hope For Early Completion Of Cheyenne Bottoms Project
Great Bend Tribune details the Cheyenne Bottoms refuge near Great Bend, a combined state federal project worth about five million dollars. As the Arkansas River diversion dam nears completion, water could flow into 18,000 acres, enabling constant water levels for duck hunting. Engineers describe phased work from Wet Walnut Creek to Dry Walnut and the Arkansas, with a 200 feet long river dam started in 1956, aiming for a May completion window if rains cooperate.
