NOTES
Additional Information:A 'site file' titled Appleton Locks 1-3 Historic District exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation-Public History. Approximately 3,300 feet of the Lower Fox Navigation Canal are located within this district. Generally running west to east at this point, the canal's depth does not exceed six feet, and its width varies from approximately 100 to 125 feet across the top. There are no special embankment features along the canal. The canal has been dredged periodically throughout its history. It should be noted that a small, approximately two foot wide, stone waste weir is located to the south of Lock #2. It is that portion of the canal that carries the surge of water discharged from Lock #1 around Lock #2.
