This map was originally issued in a Congressional report concerning a land grant to the State of Indiana for the purpose of opening a canal to connect the Wabash River with Lake Erie. The proposed canal is depicted in light pink. The Wabash-Erie Canal was completed in 1842. It extended to Evansville, rather than Terre Haute, as shown on this map.
