Niobrara, Nebraska’s third-oldest town, was forced to seek higher ground because of water problems resulting from the Army Corps of Engineers’ construction of the Ga- £y=Pi vins Point Dam in 1955. Basements were flooded, build ing foundations weakened, road beds threatened and farmlands ren dered soggy by rising water tables. The waters rose “to a greater de gree and more rapidly than antici pated” according to Elbert Snethen, spokesman for the Corps. He said original estimates projected the high levels would not come for 50 to 100 years after the dam’s comple tion. Snethen said that if a low dam had been built instead of a high one the buildup of silt and subsequent flood ing would not have occurred. As water rose, the morale of the town declined. The population — 550 residents several years ago — fell by 10 to 15 percent. Some busi nesses closed. “People were trying to decide whether to relocate or just move away or just what to do, ” said Gor don Printz, general manager of the Niobrara Planning Commission. Printz said the greatest obstacle was selling the townspeople on how nice the new town would be. “I think we have overcome that tremendous obstacle and we do now have a town,” he said.
