Since 1974, the American Canal Society has produced several American Canal Guides covering some regions of the United States. This series is not complete, but pdf versions of the several guides are available below:
- Part 1: The West Coast
- Addenda 1 to Part 1 (Keenleyside, BC Lock & Dam)
- Part 2: The South: North Carolina to Florida
- Part 3: The Lower Mississippi &Gulf States
- Addenda 2 to Parts 1, 2, & 3
- Part 4: West Virginia , Kentucky, & the Ohio River
- Part 5: Virginia, Delaware, & Maryland (Split for downloading)
An as yet unrealized part of this project are guides to the more canalized areas of the US and Canada as listed below. To use the power of the internet to advance this project, draft (sketchy) files of these guides will be developed and posted here. As added material is written, it will be added from time to time.
Any of these underlined and shown blue will have a draft available by clicking on the link.
