The Old Mission Dam, located in San Diego, California was the first major irrigation project on the Pacific coast of the United States. Located along the San Diego River, the stone and cement dam is 220 ft long (67 m), 13 ft wide (4.0 m) at its base and 12 ft high (3.7 m). Water was released for a sawmill and irrigation at the Mission San Diego de Alcalá, 5 miles (8.0 km) away.
