Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Original description reads: "Pleasant Hill Dam, is located on the Clear Fork of the Mohican River, 5 miles west of Loudenville and 2 miles south of Perrysville, in Ashland County." Completed in 1936, Pleasant Hill Dam was constructed for flood reduction, recreation, and fish and wildlife management. The dam is made up of rolled earth fill with an impervious, water proof, core of clay. It is 113 feet high, 775 feet long, with a top width of 30 feet, and a base width of 550 feet. A unique feature of this flood control structure is the 'Morning Glory Spillway', one of only two dams built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with this type spillway. View on Ohio Memory.
