Rock Dam and Clark County
Early Recollections
My first view of Rock Darn was on July 5, 1936, in the company of Al Covell, the then County Forester. We came by Highway G from Neillsville which was a terrible gravel road. At Globe Road, we turned West past Tom Kreji’s tavern at Tioga, then at the White School House North to the Willard Road, then West again to Rock Dam. Highway M was just a dirt trail, and the road to Rock Dam not much better.

Clark County Flooding: 1993
Residents survey damage in the Rock Dam area of the Town of Foster. From the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources: "South central portions of the state received rainfall totals that were 150- 200% above normal for the first seven months of 1993 with a number of stream systems experiencing flooding levels which exceeded the 1% (100 year) flood. Over Father's Day weekend, 10 dams and dikes were washed out. Another 12 dams reported damage. Numerous other dams suffered damaged which was not reported or discovered until a later inspection. A presidential disaster declaration was issued for 10 counties in southern and western Wisconsin for the period of June 7 - August 25, 1993."
