==Points of interest== <!---- In 1851, the board laid out the canal into 6 divisions for maintenance and repair as follows:<ref>Unrau, p. 550</ref> 1 β Georgetown division from Eastern tide lock to the Seneca feeder (including the feeder). 2 β Monocacy Division β From the Seneca Feeder to Dam #3 (including the dam). 3 β Antietam Division β From above Dam #3 to 500 feet above Guard lock #4 (just above the intake). 4 β Williamsport Division β from 500 feet above Guard Lock #4 to first stop lock below Licking Creek (114.15 miles) on the 14 mile level. 5 β Hancock Division β from first stop lock below Licking Creek to Lock 59 6 β Cumberland Division β Above lock 19 to Guard lock #8 in Cumberland. ----> Here is a list of items on the canal, as a canaller traveling by boat from Georgetown to Cumberland would see. (Note: some present day items are on this list also.) A typical canaller would know the canal by the names of the levels and the locks.<ref>[[#hahn-boatmen|Hahn, Boatmen]] p. 54</ref> Most list of points of the canal's points of interest do not contain a list of the levels with their names like we have here. Also note that most lists of locks do not include Guard Locks 4 and 5, which a boat would have to pass through, if navigating the entire canal (It was generally possible for boats to pass through the other guard locks also, but that is if they were going to other destinations, usually on the Virginia/West Virginia side of the river). Also note sometimes there are often slight discrepancies in mileages, for instance NPS and Hahn<ref>[[#hahn-towpath|Hahn Towpath]] p. 217</ref> reports Lock 75 at 175.60 miles, Davies lists "175.35 (175.50)",<ref>[[#davies|Davies]] p. 581</ref> and Hahn also reports the NPS mile markers are in the wrong place from Milepost 117 to Lock 51,<ref>[[#hahn-towpath|Hahn Towpath]] p. 166</ref> further adding to the confusion. Also note that Some streets in Georgetown were renamed, mostly as numbered streets, pursuant to an 1895 law. ''See'' [[Georgetown street renaming]]. {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" | !colspan=4|'''Locks and Features''' |- |'''Lock or Level'''|| style="text-align:center; width:50px;"|'''Mile'''||align="left"|'''Features'''||'''Location''' |- |style="background: silver"|[[Tidewater Lock]] | style="width:50px; background:silver; text-align:center;"|0 |Beginning of Canal [[Watergate complex]] |- | :Rock Creek Level | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|.02 |[[Rock Creek (Potomac River)|Rock Creek]] |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 1 | style="text-align:center; width:50px; background:silver;"|0.38 |- | :Short Level | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.42 |Green St Bridge (29th St NW) | |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 2 | style="text-align:center; width:50px; background:silver;"|0.42 |- | :Short Level |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 3 | style="width:50px; background:silver; text-align:center;"|0.49 |style="background: silver"|Washington Street Bridge (30th St NW) |- | :Short Level |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 4 | style="width:50px; background:silver; text-align:center;"|0.54 |style="background: silver"|Jefferson St Bridge (Thomas Jefferson Street NW) |- | :4 Mile Level of Georgetown |colspan=2| {| |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.59||Congress St Bridge (31st St NW) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.68||High St Bridge ([[Wisconsin Avenue]] NW) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.61||Water intake (blocked off) for mill. |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.80||Potomac Street Bridge |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.81||Water intake (abandoned) for Wilkens Rogers Mill |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.84||Market St Bridge (33rd St NW) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.84||Frederick St Bridge (34th St NW) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|0.91||Another water intake (abandoned) Wilkens Rogers Flour Mill. |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|1.0||[[Francis Scott Key Bridge (Washington)|Key Bridge]] |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|1.07||Abutment of former [[Aqueduct Bridge (Potomac River)|Aqueduct Bridge]] to Alexandria |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|1.51||Spillway |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|1.52||Waste weir (1st and 2nd on this level) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|2.26||Inclined plane |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|3.1||Fletcher's Boat House |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|3.23||Waste weir (3rd) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|3.64||Arizona Avenue Railway Bridge ([[Capital Crescent Trail]]) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|3.9||Spillway (2nd) |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|4.2||[[Chain Bridge (Potomac River)|Chain Bridge]] |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|4.54||[[Washington Aqueduct|Dalecarlia Water Treatment plant]] discharge pipe <br> (runs under the canal, to the Potomac R.) |} |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 5 (Brookmont) | style="width:50px; background:silver; text-align:center;"|5.02 |Inlet gate #1 (lower) |- | :Short Level | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|5.20 |Service road to Upper Inlet Gate |- |style="background: silver"|Lock 6 (Magazine Lock) | style="width:50px; background:silver; text-align:center;"|5.4 |- | :Two mile level of Magazine |colspan=2| {| |- | style="width:50px; text-align:center;"|5.64||Groundbreaking started here.
