Résumé:

The Illinois & Michigan Canal, completed in 1848 and closed in 1933, was built to provide shipping access from Lake Michigan to the Illinois River and beyond, and is now a National Heritage Corridor. The maps and photographs -- both modern and historical -- and essays explore the history of the human presence in and around this important resource.
