Talk:Canal Flats

canal stuff

I just noted the explanation of Baillie Grohman's plans (and pause to wonder if there's any family connection to Matthew Baillie Begbie - that's not a common surname...copuld they have been related on each other's maternal side?):

The canal was part of a scheme by English/Austrian entrepreneur William Adolf Baillie Grohman in the 1880s to breach Canal Flats and divert water from the upper Kootenay River into the Columbia system, thereby sufficiently lowering the level of Kootenay Lake to reclaim the 48,000-acre rich alluvial plain in the Creston area and open up a north-south navigational system from Golden to Montana. The scheme was abandoned under pressure from the Canadian Pacific Railways, concerned about its Columbia River Crossings, and from Settlers around Golden who feared that their farmlands would be flooded.

I think that could be improved by commenting the Kootenay River was canal-ized in the Creston Valley since that time as a way for those (very rich) lands to be farmed....it may even be called the Kootenay Canal, I'm not sure, I'll look in BCGNIS; Duck Lake is part of the drainage project and I'd guess the Goat River estuary/confluence is also involved; I remmember sorting it out while charting digi-maps for bivouac....Skookum1 (talk) 19:21, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
