Canal Links Ancient Trade to Modern Linkage Idea
Historic canal comparisons frame a proposal to cut a waterway between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan near Sault Ste. Marie. Engineers consider using the White River system to connect to the Little Novette, with 16 miles needing work and a total route shortening the Great Lakes access from Chicago to the sea. The plan cites famed canals and argues topography can be overcome, likening the effort to Chesapeake and Ohio precedents and stressing the lakes’ vast commerce.
