Indiana Central Canal and North Shore Channel, are related to water?
Indiana Central Canal The Indiana Central Canal was a canal intended to connect the Wabash and Erie Canal to the Ohio River. It was funded by the Mammoth Internal Improvement Act, Indiana's attempt to take part in the canal-building craze, started by the Erie Canal. $3.5 million was allocated for the project, the largest piece of the entire $10 million Act. However, due to the Panic of 1837, Indiana suffered financial difficulties and had to turn over the canal to the state's creditors, and building of the canal was stopped in 1839. The canal was supposed to extend 296 mi , from Peru, Indiana, to Evansville, Indiana, where it would reach the Ohio River. It was originally divided into two sections, North and South. Later, a third section was designated, called the Indianapolis section. Only eight miles were completed, with eighty additional miles between Anderson, Indiana, and Martinsville, Indiana, having been partially built.
Kankakee Arch The Kankakee Arch is a geologic arch with a northwest–southeast trending axis which connects the Cincinnati Arch to the southeast with the Wisconsin Dome to the northwest. It lies beneath northeastern Illinois, northern Indiana and southeastern Wisconsin. This structural ridge lies between the Illinois Basin to the southwest and the Michigan Basin to the northeast. The area of central Illinois began to depress by the late Ordovician. The Cincinnati Arch was developing across eastern Indiana during the late Ordovician. By the early Silurian the seas northwest of the Cincinnati Arch began to become shallower. By the Early Mississippian, the Kankakee arch was above sea level.
