Title
Columbus Feeder Canal map
Description
This section of an 1887 Sanborn map shows the Columbus feeder canal starting around West Main and Jewett Streets, just south of today’s Bicentennial Park. More than 1,000 people gathered at the Statehouse in 1831 to celebrate the opening of the feeder canal. Columbus residents knew the impact the canal would have, “converting this sleepy little town to a veritable metropolis.” (Columbus Dispatch, August 13, 1939)
