With a normal storage level of 108 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam contributes to the local drainage area of 340 acres.

As a key structure for recreational purposes in the Shiloh Environs area, Illges Pond Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate adaptation in the region.
