Big Dalton Dam, Flood control dam in Los Angeles County, United States.

Big Dalton Dam stands as a concrete gravity structure within the Los Angeles County flood control system, managing water flow during heavy rainfall periods.

The dam construction emerged from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District's formation in 1915, following severe floods that caused extensive regional damage.

The facility represents California's early twentieth-century infrastructure development, marking a period of rapid population growth and urban expansion.

Visitors can observe the dam structure from designated viewing areas accessible through nearby roads within Los Angeles County's public infrastructure network.

The dam operates as part of a network covering 2,700 square miles, including 14 major dams and multiple drainage channels across Los Angeles County.
