Lakes-To-The Gulf Deep Waterway

By U.S. House of Representatives

This document presents the proceedings and findings of the United States House Committee on Rivers and Harbors concerning the proposed "Lakes-To-The-Gulf Deep Waterway." It delves into the engineering, economic, and societal implications of constructing a navigable waterway connecting the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. The report examines various routes, potential benefits, and challenges associated with such a large-scale infrastructure project. It offers insights into the historical context of early 20th-century transportation planning and the evolving role of waterways in facilitating commerce and development across the American heartland.

This historical record provides valuable information for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history of American infrastructure, water resource management, and the interplay between government, engineering, and economic development. It captures a moment in time when ambitious visions for transforming the nation's geography through engineering were at the forefront of public discourse.
