[EAN: 9781333070267], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United Kingdom], Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Transactions of the International Engineering Congress, 1915: Waterways and Irrigation The route leaves the Mississippi again about Opposite New Orleans (there are several proposed routes here, one being via the Plaquemine lock) and passes across the State of Louisiana, utilizing the numerous bayous and lakes for a great part of the distance, to Sabine River, the boundary line between Louisiana and Texas. From this point to Port Arthur, Texas, the recently constructed sabine-neches Ship Canal and the Port Arthur Ship Canal will be utilized. From Port Arthur to Galveston East Bay an artificial cut through land becomes necessary, although bayous and lakes are followed for part Of the dis tance. The line then enters Galveston Bay, passes by the City of Galveston and through West Galveston Bay and the Old galveston-brazos Canal to Brazos River; thence by a cut through land, passing through several lakes, and intersecting San Bernard River, to the head Of Matagorda Bay; thence the line passes through the Matagorda Bay and through a short ar tificial cut to Espiritu Santo Bay. From this point the route follows the natural channel through the bays Espiritu Santo, San Antonio, Mesquite, Aransas, Corpus Christi, and Laguna Madre (which all connect) to within about miles kilo meters) of the Rio Grande, where a cut Of this length through dry land becomes necessary to gain access to this river. This is the western terminus Of the Inland Waterway, as it here reaches the International Boundary between the United States and Mexico. This, in brief, is the proposed main line of the waterway. From the St. Johns River, Florida, a branch will extend down the east coast Of Florida to Key West, through the interior lagoons and bays. Tapping this main line and forming feeders will be the large number of rivers and bayous running into the Atlantic and Gulf. Chief among which are the Mississippi and its many tributaries.
