Ohio Canal Plat Map Collection
Description: Canal plat map showing a section of the Miami and Erie Canal through Miami County, Ohio. The sections shown are on either side of the city of Piqua, between stations 7746 and 7761 (north) and 7915 and 7944 (south). Roads, properties, railways and other landmarks along the route are noted, including the Great Miami River which runs parallel to the canal in this area. The map was created under the direction of the members of the Canal Commission of the state of Ohio and approved by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works (variously referred to as the Board of Public Works and the Division of Public Works). Construction on the Miami and Erie Canal took place between 1825 and 1845, and the finished route connected Cincinnati and Toledo, as well as the Ohio River with Lake Erie. View on Ohio Memory.
