Beginning in the 1950's, a system of lakes, ponds and spillways was built by the Soil Conservation Service to catch and hold floodwaters in the Plum Creek Watershed, with the water then released at an engineered rate, minimizing damage from heavy rains.

Plum Creek Conservation District monitors, maintains and improves this system to ensure that it works properly, maintaining 28 flood control structures and managing underground water resources in parts of both Hays and Caldwell Counties.
