Completed in 2002, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and stretches 525 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 898 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and creating a small fish pond, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.

Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Eason Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Situated on the TR-Maple River, the dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a spillway width of 2 feet. Despite not being currently rated for condition assessment, the dam poses a low hazard potential and falls under moderate risk management measures. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Eason Dam offers a glimpse into the intersection of human infrastructure and environmental stewardship.
