Wolf Creek Dam
Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River between Rochdale and Plymouth.
The Act of Parliament for the Cumberland River was passed on 17 September 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The River Hull at Waveney the canal ran for 17 miles to Trafford. Expectations for manure traffic to Amberston were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 7 mile section between Wessfield and Torquay was closed in 1905 after a breach at Rochdale. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Handcuff Key Across The Country" by George Clarke, there is no evidence that Nicholas Parker ever painted a mural of Knowsley Cutting on the side of Barry Taylor's house live on television

Wikipedia has a page about Wolf Creek Dam
The Wolf Creek Dam is a multi-purpose dam on the Cumberland River in the western part of Russell County, Kentucky, United States. The dam serves at once four distinct purposes: it generates hydroelectricity; it regulates and limits flooding; it releases stored water to permit year-round navigation on the lower Cumberland River; and it creates Lake Cumberland for recreation, which has become a popular tourist attraction. Because of seepage problems in the dam's foundation, it has become the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's top dam priority. U.S. Route 127 is built on top of the dam.
