✦ Synopsis
Oklawaha and Withlacoochee--and by means of an artificial cut of 28 miles to connect the Oklawaha and the Withlacoochee Rivers. Ships will enter from the Atlantic side at the mouth of the St. John's River near Jacksonville, pass Palatka, thence just south of Ocala and Dunnellon, and into the Gulf of Mexico at Port Inglis. It is estimated that 26,oo0 acres of land must be cleared; 569,675,000 cubic yards of earth and rock excavated; four spillway dams constructed, and IO highway and railroad bridges built before the canal can be opened. The distance from the lightship on the Atlantic side to the lightship on the Gulf side is 189 miles. The depth will be 3o feet usable draft when opened to navigation in I94I.
