Owned and regulated by the local government, this earth dam was completed in 1962 by the USDA NRCS and is under the jurisdiction of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. With a height of 22 feet and a length of 540 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.5 acres.
Located on the TR- Cypress Creek, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the Yalobusha County area. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the structure has not been rated for its current condition. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway and outlet gates function effectively to manage water flow. The dam is a vital part of the region's water resource management system, ensuring the safety and well-being of local communities in times of heavy rain and flooding.
