This report was part of the study funded to provide surveys necessary to evaluate the construction of an intracoastal waterway from Boston, Massachusetts all the way to Brownsville, Texas. This specific report covers the section from Beaufort, North Carolina to Key West, Florida and contains 14 folding maps. The maps consist of a general map of the eastern United States (20 x 30.3") that show existing and potential canal lines, and 13 detailed regional maps that cover the coastline from the North Carolina/South Carolina border to the Florida Keys (regional map sizes are approximately 26 x 18"). 74 pages, hardbound in tan cloth.
