Davis Dam

The Davis Dam is a dam on the Colorado River, downstream from Hoover Dam. It is located near a bridge that links Bullhead City, Arizona and Laughlin, Nevada. Davis Camp is also nearby.

Davis Dam is a zoned earthfill dam, 1600 feet in length at the crest, and 200 feet high. The dam was named after Arthur Powell Davis , who was the Director of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation from 1914 to 1932. Davis Dam was completed in 1951. Bullhead City was originally a construction town for workers building the dam.

The Davis Dam Powerplant facility is located on the Arizona side of the dam and generates between 1 and 2 billion kilowatt-hours of power annually.
