The Inland Route is a series of interconnected lakes and streams stretching across the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, and extending from Conway near Lake Michigan to Cheboygan on Lake Huron. Crooked and Indian Rivers are connecting channels in the waterway.
Workers on the floor of the nearly empty lock prepare to open the final valves to finish dewatering the lock. Behind them are the lower lock gates.
The bottom of the dewatered Livingstone Channel features formidable bedrock and limestone formations in this 1933 photo.
Two workers use a special wrench to open a valve that will allow water to flow from the debris pit on the other side of the lock gate into the lower end of the lock where it can be pumped out. This is part of the annual maintenance done at the Soo Locks each winter.
A diver uses a ladder to climb into the 37-degree water to reach the MacArthur Lock floor where he will inspect the areas around the gates and valves and assist with debris removal. This is done annually as a part of the Soo Locks winter maintenance.
