About Rogers Dam
The primary purpose of Rogers Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by James Crawford Fannin (private). It impounds the Lees Branch - Vahu6 Cu33 Hunting Quarter Swamp near Emporia.
The dam stands 16 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 13 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 81 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1951, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
Data note: Hazard potential describes the consequences if a dam failed; it does not predict the likelihood of failure. Inspection, condition, and emergency-plan fields can be incomplete or delayed. Check state dam-safety officials and local emergency managers for official guidance.
