Summary

Description
English: Original Title: 'Canals in the United States about 1825', the map is historically inaccurate, as some parts depicted were not yet built in 1825, although were proposed and funded by the Pennsylvania Legislature as the Main Line of Public Works act of 1824.
•  Specifically, the Allegheny Portage Railroad across the Allegheny Ridge into Western Pennsylvania would not be begun before 1831 nor completed until 1834.
•  The depiction of those proposed canals and navigations may be the source material of this map. The Schuylkill Canal was indeed completed in this year, AND 1824 was the start of making the 1818 Lehigh Canal navigations a two way canal.
