Pages : 90
Book Description
Excerpt from Water Communication Between the Mississippi and the Lakes: Memorial The course of the two rivers below the Portage, the point of nearest approach, is surprisingly straight and nearly upon a due line passing through Prairie du Chien and the Straits of Mackinaw. The divide, or portage, separating the Wisconsin River waters, putting into the Gulf of Mexico, from the Fox River waters, putting into the St. Lawrence, is a level sand prairie, without rock, and in width one and one half miles The Wisconsin at the portage is at the summit level. It is about seven feet higher than the Fox at the portage, about two hundred feet higher than Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Fox, and one hundred and Sixty-nine feet higher than the Mississippi at the mouth of the Wisconsin. Already a canal at the portage connects the Wisconsin and the Fox and a slack water communication extending from the portage to Green Bay, a distance of one hundred and sixty miles, overcomes by locks and dams the fall of two hundred feet, and connects the Wisconsin River with Lake Michigan. The Fox River from its mouth to Oshkosh on Lake Winne bago has a low water channel of about four feet, and from Lake Winnebago to the portage of about three feet. At stages of high water, boats of three, four and even five feet draft have passed from Lake Michigan up the Fox River and down the Wisconsin into the Mississippi River. As late in the sea son as June, boats of three hundred tons burthen have made the passage. In stages of low water, the Wisconsin cannot be navigated on account of the drifting sand.
