dam, interesting place
Taylorsville Dam is part of the Miami Conservancy District, a river management agency operating in Southwest Ohio to control flooding of the Great Miami River and its tributaries. It was organized in 1914 following the catastrophic flood of the Great Miami River in March of 1913, which hit Dayton, Ohio particularly hard.
Located between Dayton and Tipp City, Ohio, Taylorsville Dam regulates the Great Miami River. It consists of 1,235,000 cubic yards (944 thousand m³) of earth, is 67 feet (20 m) high and spans 2,980 feet (908 m). When full, the dam would inundate 9,650 acres (39 km²). It was constructed between 1919 and 1922.
