Default Canals in Missouri?

Google Little River Drainage District. They may look like canals, but they
don't "connect" directly to a major river or waterway. They are drainage
ditches.


Holy cow! "Drainage ditch" just doesn't seem to adequately describe
something that big... They look to be easily navigable.

Thanks for the info.

Next time you fly to OSH, take a look at the Horicon Marsh in WI. You can
still see the canals and the paths made through the marsh when they tried to
drain it between 1910 and 1914. Pretty incredible from the air.

Interesting -- will do. The only time I've ever over-flown the marsh
was as a student, and I was too busy dodging snow showers to notice...
