"Intended as a way to irrigate nearby farmland, Two Buttes Dam was built in 1909–10 on Two Buttes Creek, about seventeen miles northeast of Springfield. The resulting reservoir did not irrigate much land and was better used as a site for hunting, fishing, boating, and swimming. In 1970 the reservoir was sold to the Game, Fish, and Parks Department (now Colorado Parks and Wildlife), which continues to administer it within the Two Buttes State Wildlife Area."
