Texas Irrigation Canals
Lynn Canal and Portland Canal in Alaska and Hood Canal in Washington are natural inlets that use the name canal.
These are man made canals in each state that have been given a name and may consist of a narrow irrigation or drainage ditch to a large ship, municipal water and/or irrigation canal. States with extensive agricultural acreage may have many hundred to thousands of canals. USGS Topographical map numbers and latitudes and longitudes of each canal, usable as inputs into Google, Bing, etc. maps, are usually given.
