Description
Built in conjunction with the Civil Works Administration, the arch dam with a fish ladder is a rare construction for a small structure. Completed in 1934 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2014, the dam will be removed in Summer 2015 due to its impact on Rogue River Fishery and lack of functionality as an irrigation structure.
