The Channel

You might remember the stream west of the railroad going from Plantersville to Verona. The stream was called "The Channel." You may recall that it had steep banks on each side. I have been informed that The Channel was man-made, dug around the turn of the century to drain a swamp area. This area was evidently what we called "the bottom" when I was living in Plantersville. If you go to this site, an article about the history of Lee County, refers near the bottom of the article that a large swamp area was drained. The article was published in 1907.
