Jorgensen Dam, located in Madison, Iowa, is a private earth dam designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1990. With a height of 36 feet and a length of 235 feet, this dam primarily serves the purposes of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. It has a normal storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2.4 acres, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.

Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Jorgensen Dam is state-regulated, inspected, and permitted. Situated on the TR- Middle River, this dam is crucial for water resource management in the area. Despite not having a spillway or outlet gates, the dam is considered structurally sound and has not been rated for condition assessment yet. With its strategic location and purpose, Jorgensen Dam plays a vital role in ensuring water availability for fire protection and livestock in the region, making it a significant asset for both the local community and the environment.
