Mansfield Dam is a dam located across a canyon at Marshall Ford on the Colorado River, 13 miles northwest of Austin, Texas. The groundbreaking ceremony occurred on February 19, 1937, with United States Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes attending. The dam was a joint project by the Lower Colorado River Authority and the United States Bureau of Reclamation, with partial funding provided by the Public Works Administration. Brown and Root, headed by James E. Walters, Sr., was the prime contractor. The dam was completed in 1941. Originally called Marshall Ford Dam, the name was changed in 1941 in honor of United States Representative J.J. Mansfield. The reservoir behind Mansfield Dam is named Lake Travis. The dam is owned and operated by the LCRA. Mansfield Dam is 278 feet high, 7,089 feet long, and 213 feet thick at the base. The concrete gravity dam with embankment wings and saddle dikes was designed to control flooding; to store 1.4 km³ of water; and to generate hydroelectric power. The Spillway Elevation is 714 feet above Mean Sea Level. LCRA begins to open floods gates when water reaches 681 feet above MSL.
