There is only one dam in my area, that's the antietam dam.  It's not near me thankfully.  It is far up in the mountains far enough away that it would not have an effect on any towns except for those rural residents who lived close to it.

Here's a start:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reservoirs_and_dams_in_the_Uni...:

"The nearly 8100 major dams in the United States in 2005. The National Inventory of Dams defines a major dam as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre feet (6,200,000 m³), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre feet (31,000,000 m³).^[2]
