    A large concrete gravity dam with multiple spillway gates is photographed from a downstream vantage point. The calm water in the foreground creates a near-perfect mirror reflection of the dam structure and cloudy sky. The scene includes riprap-lined embankments and grassy earthen abutments flanking the concrete spillway section.

    Stratocumulus clouds hover over Keystone Dam near Sand Springs, Okla., as the sun lights the gates and stilling basin on a calm morning, Sept. 1, 2026. Keystone Dam is one of eight Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dams with a hydroelectric power mission. The two 35,000 kW generating units were designed to produce up to 70 megawatts combined. The structure's primary purpose is to reduce flood risk for communities along the Arkansas River downstream. Constructed between 1957 and 1964, Keystone Dam's authorized purposes include water supply, navigation, recreation and fish and wildlife. (U.S. Army photo by Brannen Parrish)
