Dale, what is that canal used for?


It was dug off Old River for farm irrigation - or that's what I've
been told. There are irrigation pumps along the canal for pumping the
water over the levees, so that make sense.

Cool, from your pics it looked like a pretty good sized canal so I was
curious if it was for irrigation or barges to something or what.

It may have also been for barges. Sugar Cut is a lateral canal to Grantline
and that went to the Spreckels Sugar Beet plant.
