Hi,
I'm very interested in the history of Beaver Island and I came across this map from the Beaver Island Historical Society:
http://beaverisland.net/beaver-island-h ... p_1800.gif
It mentions a "partially completed" canal from Lake Geneserath to Lake Michigan. Does anyone have any more information about this canal?
Thanks,
Jeremie

Mormon excavation:
I placed some red ribbons from/on this sign (27245 East Side Dr.) leading to the east end of the Mormon excavation; there are more ditches as you go west toward Lake "G".
The red ribbons are on trees all the way to the east end of the trenches. I'm sure the Howing family would appreciate it if you went no farther than where it is marked. Many people have not seen this historical site.
My personal guess is, that it was for a griss mill in these days.
