Jerry Davis is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, near the Mississippi River.
Built in 1996, this dam stands at 29 feet high with a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet. It serves multiple purposes including grade stabilization and recreation, covering a surface area of 3 acres and draining a 51.2 square mile watershed.
Managed by the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Jerry Davis has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. With an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, this earth dam is primarily constructed with stone core types and soil foundations. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam has not been deemed as a high-risk structure and meets regulatory guidelines.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Jerry Davis provides a unique opportunity to study the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems. With its focus on fish and wildlife conservation, the dam serves as a valuable resource for habitat protection and recreational activities in the region. Its location near the Mississippi River and Tr-Sisun Creek presents a fascinating case study for understanding the impact of dams on water management and ecological sustainability in Missouri.
