Title

Survey for the Opening of Steamboat Communication: Eastern Section from Lake Winder to Tohopekaliga Lake

Description

This sheet combines a route map with a longitudinal section of the surveyed line between Tohopekaliga Lake and Lake Winder. It invites readers to look at a landscape in two ways: from above, and through its changing elevations. The proposed steamboat connection makes an approachable example of why a navigable route requires more than drawing a line between two bodies of water.
