Location DB > Canada > Ontario > Cornwall > Cornwall Canal > Cornwall Canal > 20 20 / 20   20 Description The same area following the inundation of 1958. Flip back and forth between this map and the previous one to see the changes that took place in this area. Most of the Cornwall Canal is now under the waters of Lake St. Lawrence. Residents of the towns and villages along the Canadian shore of the river were relocated to the new towns of Long Sault (top center) and Ingleside (top left). Miles of Highway #2 and the main CNR train line were relocated north. Between 1954 and 1959, Canadian and American engineers built the Moses-Saunders Power Dam (at bottom right), the Long Sault Spillway Dam (where the rapids were) and a crap load of dikes to keep the flooding to a minimum. On the American side of the border, the Wiley-Dondero Ship Canal was dug through farmland and dredged out of the river bottom, and two locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway System were installed to lift the big ships past the power dam. Major changes, indeed.

I'm only familiar with the American side (went to school in Potsdam). Posted by Emperor Wang 12/9/2005 1:41 AM | remove   Glad you enjoyed it. If you want to learn more, here's a history of the project from the US Army Corps of Engineers' perspective... http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/eng-pamphlets/ep870-1-20/ Not a bad read. If you're into that sort of thing. Posted by airmyles13 12/14/2007 7:00 AM | remove   Thanks for the gallery... it's interesting to find out about history like this!
